CAMPANELLA, Tommaso (1568-1639). De Sensu Rerum et Magia, libri quatuor. Frankfurt: G. Tampach, 1620.
4° (205 x 160mm). Engraved title, woodcut initials, head- and tailpieces, (Title trimmed at fore-edge just into image, variable browning throughout, small marginal chip to P1.) Contemporary vellum, yapp edges (new endpapers). Provenance: occasional underlining in red chinagraph.
FIRST EDITION. In May 1592, Campanella was accused of heresy, and suffered a long series of imprisonments, trials, tortures, and other punishments. During his imprisonment in Naples (1599-1626) and Rome (1626-1629), he was at times able to continue his studies, and some manuscripts were smuggled out of prison to be published in Germany. The present lot is one such work, and shows that his world view gave a key position to astrology and pseudoscience. The present work is a variant issue, with the engraved title and the evenly spaced dedicatee's name on *2. Wellcome 1, 1236; Caillet 1, 1984 ('Très rare. . .Un des plus curieux livres de magie').
