Cantamessa 2235. Riccardi I, 418. - KVK: nur Stabi Berlin, Lugano. - Erste Ausgabe dieses merkwürdigen, hochtechnischen astrologischen Werkes, das Guglielmo Gonzaga gewidmet ist, der ein gewisses Interesse an der Astrologie hatte und ein Horoskop-bezogenes Schema für die Dekoration des sogenannten Tierkreiszimmers im herzoglichen Palast in Mantua bestellte. "Text of astronomy (of content almost impenetrable to me), in which two chapters are dedicated to the criticism of the astrological discipline, whose followers are charged with chimerical concepts" (Cantamessa). Donati beteiligt sich an der Debatte der zweiten Hälfte des 16. Jhds. über die Legitimität der Astrologie und bringt die Notwendigkeit einer neuen, überarbeiteten und reformierten Astrologie zum Ausdruck. - Vorsatz eingerissen. Stellenweise schwach wasserrandig u. leicht braunfleckig. Vorderschnitt mit kleinem Tintenfleck. Insgesamt wohl erhalten.
Astronomy - With 1 woodcut printer's device, 47 diagrams, headpieces and initials. - First edition of this strange, highly technical astrological work dedicated to Guglielmo Gonzaga who had some interest in astrology and ordered a horoscope-related scheme for the decoration of the so-called zodiac room at the ducal palace in Mantua for the same reason that Borso d'Este had ordered the scheme of constellations for his Hall. "Text of astronomy (of content almost impenetrable to me), in which two chapters are dedicated to the criticism of the astrological discipline, whose followers are charged with chimerical concepts" (Cantamessa). Donati is engaged in the debate of the second half of the sixteenth century concerning the legitimacy of astrology and expresses the need for a new, revised and reformed astronomy. - Contemporary flexible vellum with handwritten spine title (soiled, stained, back board somewhat waterstained). - Endpaper with tear. In some places faintly waterstained and slightly brownstained. Fore-edge with small ink stain. Altogether well preserved. *
