Hydraulics/Technology. GUGLIELMINI, Domenico. Della Natura de' Fiumi. Trattato Fisico-Matematico in cui si manifestano le principali proprietà de' Fiumi, se n'indicano molte sin'ora non conosciute, e si dimostrano d'una maniera facile le cause delle medesime. Bologna, Antonio Pisarri, 1697. 4to mm. 220 x 170, Contemporary full calf binding, spine with gilt ornaments and titles. Pp. (12), 375, (1) with a pictorial frontispiece engraved by G. M. Giovannini, e XV copper plates folded out text by Moretti on drawing by Bordoni. Very fresh specimen with wide margins.
First edition of the first important riparian treatise. Guglielmini's, 1655-1710, approach to hydraulics was through extensive field observation, and Gamba praises the work not only for its classical hydraulics, but for the clarity of its verbal and mathematical expression. The book discusses the nature of rivers and their parts, the motion of water, estuaries and confluents, riverbanks, and the kind of materials carried by rivers. --- Gamba 1641: "Edizione originale e rara"; Libreria Vinciana 1659; Riccardi I1, 643, 91: "Meno pregiata, ma più rara"; Roberts/Tr. 152f.; Wellcome III, 177.
