      John Bate THE MYSTERIES OF NATURE AND ART. London, 1635. A book about the mysteries of nature and art in four parts: 1st - works of water, 2nd - works of fire, 3rd - drawing, painting and engraving, 4th - various experiments. The second publication of the famous British book title which influenced Isaac Newton in his youth. Although John Bate, the life of whose we don't know too much about, wasn't very innovative and most of his findings were taken from earlier authors, his work was sold out shortly after the first publication (1634) so the following year it was published for the second time. [10], 288, [16] p. Full-page cooper engraving with portrayal of the author on the frontispiece. Hard binding, the book partly loosened from the binding, pages 89-234 missing, the frontispiece and the title page restored. John Bate THE MYSTERIES OF NATURE AND ART. Londýn, 1635. Kniha o záhadách přírody a umění ve čtyřech částech: 1. vodní díla, 2. ohnivá díla, 3. kreslení, malování a rytectví, 4. rozličné pokusy. Druhé vydání slavného britského knižního titulu, který v mládí ovlivnil Isaaca Newtona. John Bate, o jehož životě toho mnoho nevíme, nebyl ve svém spisu příliš novátorský, většinu poznatků převzal od dřívějších autorů. Přesto byl záhy po svém prvním vydání (r. 1634) rozebrán, takže již následujícího roku vyšel podruhé. [10], 288, [16] str. Na frontispisu celostránková mědirytina s vyobrazením autora spisu; bohatě ilustrováno. Pevná vazba, kniha částečně uvolněná z vazby, chybějící strany 89-234, frontispis a titulní list restaurovány. John Bate THE MYSTERIES OF NATURE AND ART. London, 1635. Ein Buch über Geheimnissen der Natur und Kunst in vier Teilen: 1. Wasser, 2. Feuer, 3. Zeichen, Malen und Gravieren, 4. Verschiedene Experimente. Zweite Ausgabe des berühmten Werks, der unter anderem einen großen Einfluss auf Isaac Newton hatte. Erste Ausgabe aus dem Jahr 1634 schnell verkauft, schon nächstes Jahr ausgegeben zum zweiten Mal. [10], 288, [16] Seiten. Ganzseitiger Kupferstich mit Abbildung des Autors auf dem Frontispiz, reich illustriert, fester Einband, Seiten 89-234 fehlen, das Frontispiz und Titelseite restauriert.
