Venise, Girolamo Porro, 1589. *** Première édition de la traduction de Bernardino Baldi du livre des automates d'Héron d'Alexandrie. Elle est illustrée par un beau titre dans un encadrement architectural gravé et 22 gravures : 11 bois gravés et 11 gravures sur cuivre dont 6 à pleine page. Dans sa préface, Baldi (1553-1617) retrace l'histoire de la mécanique. Sa traduction était prête dès 1576 et devait paraître avec une traduction de Commandino du "Spiritalium liber", mais la mort de celui-ci l'en empêcha. DSB 1, 419, (Baldi) et 6, 312 (Hero). Très bel exemplaire. *** In-4 de 47 ff., 1 f. blanc. Vélin rigide.
