MONTANARI (Geminiano)
The Astrologia convinced by the falso col mezzo di nuove esperienze, e Ragioni Fisico-Astronomiche, o sia la Caccia del frugnuolo. Venice, Francesco Nicolini, 1685. In-4, cardboard, uncut (18th century binding). Riccardi, t. II, col. 175. Original edition, decorated with a beautiful portrait of the author engraved on copper. Geminiano Montanari (1633-1687), mathematician and astronomer born in Modena, announces that the predictions of his almanac Frugnuolo de gli influssi del gran cacciatore di lagoscuro had been made at random and uses this circumstance to discredit and fight astrology (see Houzeau-Lancaster, n°5325). Freckles. Missing back, with restored lower part.
