Le raccolte italiane sul moto delle acque

This work deals with the examination of five collections on the motion of water that were printed in Italy between 1723 and 1845. There were two Florentine editions, one published in three volumes in 1723 and the other published in nine volumes between 1765 and 1774. Another edition was edited by the Jesuit Jacopo Belgrado in Parma in seven volumes between 1766 and 1768. Bologna produced two editions, both of which were edited by Francesco Cardinali in the first half of 19th century. The first one was printed between 1821 and 1826 in ten volumes, while the second one was printed between 1823 and 1845 in seven volumes. Both Florentine editions were printed in the grand-ducal print shop, whose director and reviser from 1713 to 1723 was Tommaso Buonaventuri. Together with the mathematician Guido Grandi, Buonaventuri was the main creator of the first edition of the collection. In this work, the five collections on the motion of water have been examined and compared. They contain both theoretical and practical contributions to the science of waters. Many authors appear in different editions, such as important exponents of the Galilean school as Benedetto Castelli, Vincenzo Viviani, Famiano Michelini. The works of other important mathematicians are in these collections, like Guido Grandi, Domenico Guglielmini, Eustachio Manfredi.

Si tratta dell'esame di cinque raccolte sul moto delle acque, pubblicate in Italia tra il 1723 ed il 1845: due edizioni pubblicate a Firenze, la prima in tre e la seconda in nove volumi, una edizione stampata a Parma in sette volumi e due edizioni bolognesi, la prima in dieci e la seconda in sette volumi. Le cinque raccolte vengono esaminate e confrontate; esse contengono risultati sia teorici che pratici sulla scienza delle acque. Tra gli autori figurano i principali esponenti della scuola galileiana, Benedetto Castelli, Vincenzo Viviani, Famiano Michelini, oltre ad altri importanti matematici, quali Guido Grandi, Eustachio Manfredi, Domenico Guglielmini e Bernardino Zendrini.
