BM, French Books 372. Adams R. 52. Thorndike V, 596. Wolf 11, 538 f. (ausführlich). - Erste Ausgabe eines der großen technischen Werke der Renaissance in der Tradition von Leonardo da Vinci (dessen Schüler Marignan Ramellis Lehrer war), Bessoris, Agricolas und Zoncas. Eine Fülle von Wasserhebewerken, Fördermaschinen, Brücken, Fähren, Belagerungsmaschinen, auch von Automaten (sprechende Vögel) wird technisch genau dargestellt, als Antrieb wird durchweg Wasserkraft verwendet. Wolf vermutet, dass viele Darstellungen nur Entwürfe sind, die nicht tasächlich gebaut wurden. "A work more remarkable (than that of Besson), in that it ariticipated with detailed sketches a number of devices which were successfully manufactured and marketed two or three centuries later, is Le Machine del Ramelli" (Wolf a.a.O.). - Tafeln XXV u. CXXV, die in einigen Ex. aufgrund eines typographischen Fehlers identisch sind, haben hier unterschiedliche Sujets. - Etw. gebräunt u. fl., leicht verschmutzt, teilweise etwas wurmspurig (von M1 an ausgebessert, teilweise Buchstabenverlust), Bl. 226 mit ausgebesserter Eckfehlstelle. - First edition of one of the greatest illustrated books of the 16th century and a landmark of book design. "Ramelli's book on machinery, one of the most elegantly produced of all technological treatises, emphasized and explored the unlimited possibilities of machines [.] The plates in Ramelli's treatise are artistically as well as technologically superb, the bilingual text beautifully printed, and both plates and text surrounded by handsome borders of typographic ornaments" (Norman). With engraved title, engraved portrait and 195 copper engraved plates (20 double-page; 148/149 on 1 sheet). Modern vellum. Plates XXV and CXXV which are identical in some copies due to a typographical mistake have here different subjects. Some spotting and light soiling, small central wormhole accross volume, bigger from M1 and repaired causing some text loss, tiny wormhole in margins of some central leaves, H2 with repaired corner).
