Piccolomini Alessandro. La prima parte dele theoriche o' vero speculationi dei pianeti.. In Vinegia: appresso Giordano Ziletti all'insegna della Stella; 1558. (At colophon:) In Vinegia: appresso Giouanni Varisco & compagni; 1558. [10], 63, [1] pp. Woodcut initials and decorations, numerous diagrams in the text. Title page with some small tears and a lack in the upper outer corner, without loss of text. Copy with some small marginal woodworm damage without loss, water stain on the outer margin of most leaves,  diagrams in good impression. Early 20th century marbled wrapps. First edition, first print run, therefore without the repetition of the printer's device on the recto of the last blank leaf. Cantamessa, Biblioastrology.com, no. 6106:. "The tone of the work is predominantly astronomical, even if, as in The Sphere, Piccolomini calls the astronomers astrologers, further confirming the conceptual and expressive blending of astronomy and astrology in the 16th century. That is, he places in the same context those who observed and measured the sky and those who drew predictions and forecasts from it. Thus, Piccolomini also deals, among other things, with the aspects between the Planets (from leaf 59) and reproduces the classic ones of astrology, also mentioning the benign and malignant ones, and therefore, in writing in this way, he blends two different disciplines.". Size 6 by 8 1/4". Text in Italian.
