(Books & Works on Paper including Autographs & Memorabilia, 31st March 2020) Boscovich (Ruggero Giuseppe) & Benvenuti (Carlo) Boscovich (Ruggero Giuseppe) & Benvenuti (Carlo) Synopsis physicæ generalis quam in Seminario Romano ad disserendum proposuit…, large woodcut device on title, initial and headpiece, errata leaf at rear, engraved folding plate depicting geometrical diagrams, quarter calf over marbled boards, fore-edges sprinkled red, spine slightly rubbed, Antonio de Rosso, Rome, 1754. *** Important edition of one of Boscovich and Benvenuti’s thesis often catalogued under students' names (here José Joaquim de Vereterra y Agurto), which were printed in just a few copies and were not intended for the normal book market. "In Benvenuti's Synopsis a certain passage was guaranteed by Boscovich himself, the one in which he first formulates and solves the problem of the equilibrium of four points... The attacks of the religious superiors on Benvenuti's Synopsis, causing the removal of Benvenuti from the chair of metaphysics at the Roman College, was in reality a veiled attack on Boscovich's natural philosophy" (see I. Martinovic,’ Early reception of Boskovic's natural philosophy: the 'Benvenuti case', ‘Synthesis Philosophica’ 8, 1993, 307-333). Carlo Benvenuti was a learned Jesuit, physician, and mathematician.
