Erste und wohl einzige Ausgabe. - Poggendorff II, 59. Nissen, ZBI, 2699. DSB IX, 134 f. Koeman IV, 421: "This work on oceanography contains the first printed chart with depth-lines." - Frühes Werk über Ozeanographie, übersetzt von Jean Leclerc und mit einem Vorwort versehen von Hermann Boerhaave. - Marsigli ist durch sein großangelegtes Werk über die Donau bekannt geworden. Im vorliegenden Werk gibt er seine Erfahrungen und Versuchsergebnisse aus dem Maritim-Laboratorium in Marseille bekannt, einem von ihm im Jahre 1706 gegründeten Institut. - "In it he treated problems which until then had been veiled by error and legend. Marsili examined every aspect of the subiect: the morphology of the basin and relationships between the lands under and above water; the water's properties (color, temperature, salinity) and its motion (waves, currents, tides); and the biology of the sea, which fore-told the advent of marine botany. Among the plants he numbered animals like corals, which before bis time had been regarded as inorganic matter". - Tls. leicht fleckig, N.a.V. - First and probably only edition. With engraved frontispiece, engraved vignette on title, 2 engraved maps and 50 copper plates. Contemporary leather (joints cracked, bumped). Partly slightly stained.
