ARCHIMEDES (c.287-212 B.C.). De insidentibus aquae. Edited by Niccolò Tartaglia. Venice: Curzio Troiano de Navò, 1565.
2 parts in one volume, small 4° (195 x 145mm). Printer’s device on titles, woodcut diagrams. (First title lightly soiled, some spotting, stronger at beginning and end, light finger soiling.) Modern boards (new endpapers). Provenance: bookseller’s label.
This work considers how water/boats work in relation to the displacement and density of the objects in the water. In the second part, Archimedes studies the stable equilibrium positions of floating paraboloids of various shapes and densities. Adams A-1534; Riccardi I, 46.
