claims. Apparently the pope offered the Champollion a cardinalship, even though he was married with three children.” Domenico Testa, was secretary to the papal nuncio in Paris, Antonio Dugnani, and he was member of the Accademia di Religione Cattolica whose object was to combat arguments that undercut catholic dogma or that undermined divine action as revealed in scripture. In 1793 Testa also took up epistolary arms against Alberto Fortis, who had argued that the fossil fish found on Monte Balco (Verona) had been transported there in ancient times from warmer climes during a general cataclysm. Testa argued vehemently otherwise as he did here. trendy Chauffeur: Working clothes for employees around 1900 [Vetements de Travail/ Working clothes] 19 Kartons (Bristol Board) mit schwarz-weißen Originalentwürfen für Arbeitsuniformen, davon 18 signiert 'Guido, undatiert (um 1910).

On meteors – everything under the sun Vieri, Francesco de. I Tre Primi Libri Delle Metheore...da Lui riccorretti con l' aggiunta del quarto Libro ... .- Florence:: Giorgio Marescotti,, 1582. 8°. [16], 424 pp., [16] Con-temporary vellum, handwritten label, else fine. $ 2000.- Second, expanded, edition. The first edition of Vieri's work consisted of only the first three books of Aristotle's Meteorologica. This second edition adds the commentary of the fourth book of Aristoteles. This work also treats of comets, rainbows, tides, the Milky Way, earthquakes, and metallurgy. Francesco de' Vieri (1524-1591), a humanist and early on a Platonist after the fashion of Marsilio Ficino, educated in the school of Jacopo da Diacceto, he followed in his ancestor's footsteps by taking up philosophical studies. He taught at the School of Pisa, at first holding a chair in Logic, and later, from 1559 to 1590, in Philosophy. Notwithstanding the current university statutes promoted by Cosimo I de' Medici (1519-1574), which forbade any deviation from Aristotelian teachings, the second Verino was granted permission by Grand Duke Francesco I (1541 - 1587) to give public lectures on Platonic philosophy, but was forced to interrupt them upon the protests of his colleagues. His desire to refound the Platonic Academy had however the conciliationist temper originated by Pico della Mirandola (1463-1494), who considered Aristotle a precursor of Plato, whose thought therefore could not but be in harmony with his master's. He chose as the target of his anti-peripatetic polemic in Vere conclusioni di Platone conformi alla dottrina christiana et a quella d'Aristotile ("True Conclusions of Plato in Agreement with Christian Doctrine and Aristotle's Teachings", Florence, 1589) his main enemy, the Aristotelian Girolamo Borri of Arezzo, also a professor at the School of Pisa. Verino published, among other things, a Trattato delle metheore ("Treatise on Meteors", Florence, 1572), a Trattato della lode, dell'honore, della fama et della gloria ("Treatise on Praise, Honor, Fame and Glory", Florence, 1577), the Discorsi delle maravigliose opere di Pratolino et d'Amore ("Discourses on the Marvelous Works of Pratolino and of Amore", Florence, 1587) and a Discorso del soggetto, del numero, dell'uso et della dignità et ordine degl'habiti dell'animo ("Discourse on the Subject, Num-ber, Use and Dignity and on the Kind of Vestments of the Spirit", Firenze, 1568), in which he championed the political and moral aspects of Plato's thought. He left in manuscript form his Lezzioni d'amore ("Lessons on Love"), a commentary on Cavalcanti published in recent times. EDIT 16 CNCE 29017. Adams V715. Guarducci 170.

Voit, Carl von. Beschreibung eines Apparates zur Untersuchung der gasförmigen Ausscheidungen des Thierkörpers; in: Abhandlungen Akad. d. Wiss München 1876. $ 1200.- First edition of his landmark paper. [Gedeon 53]. Voit gives a detailed description of his apparatus for the measurement of gas exchange in animals. The technique is based on an open-circuit approach, where air is allowed to flow through an enclosure where the experimental animal is confined. Accurate methods of gas analysis and ingenious absolute calibration techniques are combined to improve on the performance of a similar but much larger installation built by Pettenkofer in 1861. Carl von Voit (1831-1907) received training in analytical chemistry in Göttingen and also in Munich, where he attended the lectures of Liebig. In 1856 he became assistant to Bischoff at the Physiological Institute and four years later joined the laboratory of Max Pettenkofer, who became his life-long friend. In 1863 Voit was appointed professor of physiology and for the next three decades he carried out an ambitious programme of metabolic research.- Gedeon.

Petermanns Mitteilungen aus Justus Perthes’ Geographischer Anstalt 58 (1912).- Gotha: Justus Perthes, [1912]. pp. 185- 195, 253-256, 305-309 Original brown printed wrappers. sold First edition, Journal issue. Alfred Wegener was the originator and one of the chief defenders of the theory of continental drift. This, his first paper on the subject, attracted first little attention, and it was only with the publication of a second edition of his treatise [Entstehung der Kontinente und Ozeane] in 1919 [1920] that his theory became a subject of wide controversy. It was largely ignored from the 1930s to the 1950s, when it was revived following the discovery of new paleo-magnetic evidence.- Norman 2192. Wille, Georg August.
