Les novvelles pensees de Galilee ... : où il est traitté de la proportion des mouuements naturels, & violents, & de tout ce qu'il y a de plus subtil dans les mechaniques & dans le physique. Où l'on verra d'admirables inuentions, & demonstrations, inconnuës iusqu'à present. Traduit d'italien en françois
A 1639 French translation by Henry Gvenon of Galileo's treatise on natural and violent motion and mechanics, printed in Paris for scholars of physics. Its pictures are small geometric and mechanical diagrams: lettered points joined by straight lines and arcs, a lever balanced on supports with hanging weights, and a grid with a curved line. A designer could take their clean, schematic line work and lettering as a model for technical diagrams.
