Second edition, but considered superior to the first, as it was greatly expanded by the author\'s son, Thomas Digges (c.1546-1595). This work on practical applied geometry contains the first description of the theodolite, one of Leonard Digges\'s inventions, and the earliest description of what we would come to call the telescope. In this addition, Leonard Digges has added sections on navigation, ballistics, and pyrotechnics. Cockle 16; ESTC S107357; Tomash Williams D54.

FIRST EDITION of Kircher\'s \"fanciful and speculative elucidation of the biblical story of the Flood. Kircher figures such specifics as the year of the Flood, the time form the first raindrop until Noah stepped out on dry land, the dimensions and shape of the ark (considered symbolic of the human body bearing the soul), the materials the ark was made of, where the various animals were placed, which animals would have been excluded, where the ark landed, and where everyone dispersed after the Flood\" (Merrill). Among the numerous delightful woodcuts of animals are imaginary creatures such as the mermaid, unicorn and gryphon. The plates depict the Flood, the construction and plan of the arc, and maps of the world, including Eden and Paradise. Backer-Sommervogel IV, 1068, 33; Caillet 5768; Merrill 26; Nissen ZBI, 2195.
