GABRIELE, Giacomo. Dialogo nel quale de la Sphera, et de gli orti et occasi de le stelle, minutamente si ragiona. Venice: Giovanni de Farri, 1545.
4° (204 x 135mm). Woodcut device on title, woodcut initial. (Without final blank, occasional light soiling, tiny single wormhole then becoming a repaired wormtrack in inner margin, final two leaves reinforced at inner margin and inner margin of title lightly frayed.) 18th-century vellum, gilt edges (new endpapers).
FIRST EDITION. The speakers in this dialogue, which is dedicated to Pietro Bembo, discuss ancient astrological theories and compare them to the findings of contemporary astronomers. Bembo greatly admired Gabriele's work, both for its scientific content and its exemplary use of the Tuscan language. Gamba 1407; Houzeau and Lancaster 2515: ‘belle impression – rare’; Riccardi I, 497: 'Bellissima edizione in carattere rotondo… raro libretto’.
