Description
Manuscripted vo. Folio, mm. 303x220; Contemporary half calf binding and marbled paper, gilded title and ornaments on the spine, red edges. 102 not numbered leaves,
a lot of drawings within the text and margins, with landscapes, sketches of rivers and water currents, geometric figures. Elegant italic handwriting laid on strong paper.
IMPORTANT SCIENTIFIC MANUSCRIPT, BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED. The anonymous author, surely expert in hydraulic science, composed this work in the late seventeenth or early eighteenth century.
The first 74 cards contain a summary of the fourteenth book of the Guglielmini treatise On the Nature of the rivers, and are accompanied by illustrations, made very elegantly, very similar but not identical to those of the engraved plates printed edition of 1697.
The subsequent 28 cards are dedicated to the work of Castelli: they contain a summary of his theory for Measurement of water currents, as well as other writings of Castelli and his correspondents about remediation in the Bolognese, in Ferrara, in Emilia Romagna, as well as on the Lagoon of Venice ; all presumably derived from the edition published in 1660 in Bologna. Even in this second part are placed many geometric designs.
