ARGENTORATI IMPENSIS LAZARI ZETZNERI BIBLIOPOLAE 1606
Reference : 17074
Seconda o terza edizione del 1606 di questa rara opera del filosofo alchimista commediografo e scienziato Giovanni Battista Della Porta (1535-1615) che collega astrologia, fisiognomia e predizione del futuro. La data di pubblicazione della prima è incerta, a lungo è stata fissata nel 1601 ma molto probabilmente è del 1603. Nellopera Della Porta tenta di riconciliare larte della profezia basata su una misteriosa connessione tra la terra e gli astri e la dottrina ortodossa del libero arbitrio e condanna del giudizio astrologico. Luomo è mosso non dalle influenze astrali ma dagli elementi che compongono il suo corpo e che inoltre determinano i diversi caratteri dei pianeti e stelle. Tutti parte di un più vasto sistema. Leggendo i segni naturali un esperto può predire il futuro al quale le tendenze indicate lo condurranno. Giambattista della Porta (1535?-1615) conosciuto anche come Giovanni Battista della Porta fu uno scienziato e commediografo italiano che visse a Napoli al tempo della Rivoluzione scientifica e riforma.

Second or third edition of 1606 of this scarce work by the phylosopher alchemist dramatist and scientist Giovanni Battista Della Porta (1535-1615) conenecting astrology, physiognomy and prediction of future. The date of the first edition is uncertain, 1601 but probably of 1603. The theory of Della Porta was that man is directed not by astral influences but by the elements which compose his body and which also determine the various characters of planets and stars. Human beings and heavenly bodies are all part of a vast system of signatures. By reading the natural signs, an expert can foretell the future to which the indicated tendencies will lead. "One of the most impressive illustrations of the effect of the bull of Sixtus V against astrology is offered by Giovanni Baptista Porta, who had written on natural magic, physiognomy and other subjects bordering upon the occult- In 1603 he published at Naples six books of Celestial Physiognomy, in which the future could easily be conjectured from inspection of the human countenance, but which also astrology was refuted and shown to be inane and imaginary." Thorndike: A History of Experimental Science, Vol. VI, p.162 Giambattista della Porta (1535? - 4 February 1615), also known as Giovanni Battista Della Porta, was an Italian scholar, polymath and playwright who lived in Naples at the time of the Scientific Revolution and Reformation. Giambattista della Porta spent the majority of his life on scientific endeavors. He benefited from an informal education of tutors and visits from renowned scholars. His most famous work, first published in 1558, is entitled Magiae Naturalis (Natural Magic). In this book he covered a variety of the subjects he had investigated, including occult philosophy, astrology, alchemy, mathematics, meteorology, and natural philosophy. He was also referred to as "professor of secrets". Osler 3723. "Rara e importante opera di speculazione astrale". Riccardi, II, 311. Krivatsy, 9170. Bibl. Magica Casanatense, n. 353.
