Description
8vo, mm. 215x135; Contemporary full calf binding, gilded titles on a label on the spine; pp. XXXII, 544;
13 copper plates folded out text. Stamp of extinct library on Titlepage.
FIRST ILLSTRATED ITALIAN EDITION. The work, based on the French edition of 1776 organized by Keralio preceded by a letter of Condorcet, is translated by Simone Stratico with large records that occupy almost a third of the volume. The text of Euler develops and increases what already drew in its Scientia Navalis 1749, the first organic treatise aimed to connect the theory of equilibrium and motion of floating bodies with the study of fluid dynamics and science of shipbuilding.
Roberts & Trent: "The work is divided into three books, the first considering vessels in equilibrium and at rest, the second discussing the resistance encountered by vessels when in movement and the action of the rudder, the third considering the masts and the management of vessels. The supplement considers the action of oars...".
Stratico, Bibl.di Marineria, p. 115; Scott 360; Roberts & Trent, Bibl. Mechanica, p. 106.
