Systema Cosmicum

Description

FIRST EDITION PRINTED IN ENGLAND, and the third Latin edition of the Dialogo. Wing lists two impressions of this year, but was probably confused by various reports of engraved and printed titles. Wing G165 gives the engraved title as noted above, omitting the impression; G168 gives the printed title as noted above, with the corresponding impression form. The text includes, after the end of the Dialogus, an extract from Kepler and Foscarini's reconciliation of the Copernican system with the Scriptures. This edition is very rare in the trade and at auction,
