GILBERT, William (1544?-1603). De mundo nostro sublunari philosophia nova. Amsterdam: Ludovicus Elzevir, 1651
4° (195 x 145mm). Title printed in red and black, woodcut device on title and diagrams in the text, folding engraved plate. (Faint dust-soiling to first few leaves confined to margins.) Modern calf, antique style.
FIRST EDITION. Gilbert's writings were known by Thomas Harriot and Francis Bacon but only De magnete was published in his lifetime. The present work is an important publication in our understanding of how arrived at his reasoning contained within De magnete: 'The De mundo is, in part, an extension of the cosmological ideas Gilbert introduced in the last section of the De magete' (DSB).
