in-plano. 4ff. XLIII. 4ff. Plein veau, dos à nerfs orné (reliure de l'époque, petits manques aux coiffes, plat frottés, coins légèrement émoussés) Rare édition en partie originale, imprimée en grand format à Francfort, de cet ouvrage de l'érudit allemand Christoph Helvig (1581-1617), chronologiste, linguiste, professeur de langues classiques et orientales puis titulaire de la chaire de théologie à l'Université de Giessen. Publié initialement en 1609, le "Theatrum Historicum" compte parmi les ouvrages de chronologie les plus remarquable du XVIIe siècle, s'inscrivant dans la lignée des travaux de Joseph Scaliger ou Denis Pétau. Divisées en intervalles de dix, cinquante et cent années, classées par royaumes et par thématiques, les tables chronologiques de Helvicus couvrent la période allant de la création du monde à 1612. Pour cette première réédition posthume, les tables furent révisées et poursuivies jusqu'à 1628, pour inclure les événements relatifs à la succession de Mathias sur le trône du Saint-Empire, la canonisation d'Ignace de Loyola, ou bien encore la mort de l'auteur. L'ouvrage fit par ailleurs l'objet d'autres réimpressions et d'une fameuse traduction anglaise qui parut en 1687. Titre imprimé en rouge et noir, avec vignette gravée. Beau portrait en frontispice. Quelques bandeaux et initiales ornées. Quelques défauts au titre, légère brunissure générale du papier. Bon exemplaire par ailleurs, dans sa reliure de l'époque.

First edition. FIRST LATIN EDITION OF THE DIALOGO . First Latin edition of the Dialogo, Galileo?s celebrated defence of the Copernican view of the solar system, the most notorious banned book of the 17th century. Written in dialogue form, it ?was designed both as an appeal to the great public and as an escape from silence ? it is a masterly polemic for the new science. It displays all the great discoveries in the heavens which the ancients had ignored; it inveighs against the sterility, wilfulness, and ignorance of those who defend their systems; it revels in the simplicity of Copernican thought and, above all, it teaches that the movement of the earth makes sense in philosophy, that is, in physics ? The Dialogo, more than any other work, made the heliocentric system a commonplace? (PMM). ?The Dialogo, far more than any work, convinced men of the truth of the Copernican system? (Gingerich). Pope Urban VIII was not persuaded, however, and immediately convened a special commission to examine the book and make recommendations. In casting the Pope as the simple-minded Aristotelian Simplicius, Galileo brought upon himself arrest, trial by the Inquisition and life imprisonment. The sentence was commuted to permanent house arrest, while the printing of any of his works was forbidden. The Dialogo remained on the index until 1832. This Latin edition was translated at Galileo?s request by Matthias Bernegger (1582-1640), an Austrian from Hallstatt, who had studied in Strassburg, where he settled in 1603. In his preface he explains how he came to translate it, how he had taught himself Italian, and how eventually the Elzeviers, at the urging of the Hebraist Marcus Zuerius Boxhorn and others, persuaded him to undertake the work and agreed to publish it. In addition to rendering the work accessible to a larger audience outside Italy, Bernegger?s translation also includes tracts by Kepler and Foscarini on the compatibility of the Copernican and Christian universes. These tracts were not present in the first edition. In August 1597, Galileo wrote to Kepler expressing his sympathies for Copernicanism, having received a copy of the Mysterium cosmographicum (1596) from him. At this time Galileo?s support for Copernicus was Earth-based: Galileo had devised a theory of the tides involving the combined rotational motions of the Earth around its axis and, after Copernicus, around the Sun. Everything changed early in 1610 when Galileo first turned a telescope to the skies. Not only was the moon revealed to be mountainous and the Milky Way to consist of separate stars, contrary to Aristotelian principles, but a host of new fixed stars and four satellites of Jupiter were promptly discovered. Galileo?s account of these discoveries was published in the Sidereus nuncius (Venice, 1610). Galileo saw in the satellites of Jupiter a miniature planetary system in which, as in Copernican astronomy, it could no longer be held that all moving heavenly bodies revolved exclusively about the earth. Galileo first spoke out decisively in print for the Copernican hypothesis in his 1613 work on sunspots, Istoria e dimostrazioni intorno alle macchie solari. During its composition he had taken pains to determine the theological status of the idea of incorruptibility of the heavens, finding that this was regarded by churchmen as an Aristotelian rather than a Catholic dogma. But attacks against Galileo and his followers soon appeared in ecclesiastical quarters. These came to a head with a denunciation from the pulpit in Florence late in 1614. A year later Galileo went to Rome (against the advice of his friends and the Tuscan ambassador) to clear his own name and to prevent, if possible, the official suppression of the teaching of Copernicanism. In the first, he succeeded, but on the second he failed: Galileo was instructed on 26 February 1616 to abandon the holding or defending of that view. No action was taken against him, nor were any of his books suspended. Returning to Florence, Galile.
