Adams C 1280. STC 165. Riccardi 1, 339. Honeyman 661, - Only edition of a rare early Italian book on hydraulic pumps constructed after the principles of Archimedes, for the watering of fields from waters tunning on a deeper level. It is an important source for Renaissance technology, as it describes a number of technical constructions made by Michelangelo for the duke of Parma on p. 63 and 65. - Ceredi was interested in the construction and use of the Archimedean screw for the irrigation of fields and the draining of swamps. Results led him to specify a maximum length and optimum dimension for the water-channel, to suggest batteries of screws for lifts higher than the efficient maximum length, and to examine the design of cranks and other devices for turning the screws" (Stillman Drake & I. E. Drabkin, Mechanics in Sixteenth-Century Italy, 1969, p. 52). - Es fehlen die Bl. A8 (S. 15-16), E7 (Taf.), F1-2 (S. 86-89, F7 (Kolophon) u. F8 (weiss). Einige Bl. (inkl.
