The Second Edition, which also serves as the first complete edition of Galileo's works. The added works are mostly contained in Volume III. While called complete, it does not contain the two works listed on the Index Prohibitorum.

Quartos, Three volumes. In Very Good condition. Bound in full contemporary vellum, with leather labels to heads of spines (remnants of newer labels to tails of spines) and small ink lettering to spines. Mild soiling and wear to vellum. Subtle restoration to bindings, not visible from from exterior with the exception of newer head and tail bands. Ownership stamp appears on all title pages, and rear endpaper of Vol. II.: "B. Jankovich". Frontispiece bound in at lvi. Vol. II. ii4 has small hole from thin paper, and pp4 has small repair to closed tear. Includes nineteen full page engravings, and one folding plate of Galileo's compass (which remained unsurpassed until the advent of the slide rule in the mid-nineteenth century). Shelved in Case 3.
