About this work

Description

In Physicam. Illustrated with numerous pen-drawn figures and diagrams, one folding, and a folding planetary table. These are notes by an anonymous student, of lectures given probably at an Italian university or school, possibly at Naples, as Antonio Genovesi [1712-1769], the philosopher, is spoken of as 'Genuensis noster' on the verso of fol. 11. The date 1738 is found at the end of Chapter VII of the first part of 'Physica particularis' [fol. 127v], and 1777 on p. 8 of the 'Quaestiones' at the end, though this is certainly a later addition. Produced in Naples?
