Important and rare works of the Hungarian Jesuit first Venetian edition. These two works had a great response and helped to spread in Italy Locke's philosophy. The author, 1723-1793, professor of rhetoric, philosophy, mathematics and physics at the University of Tyrnau, and Vienna, examines the most important issues of the time and submit to close analysis and critical scientific research of Newton and Leibniz, especially on space and motion. In the table engraved copper, at the end of the first book, five figures illustrate the problems of physics and mathematics examined in the text. Nice specimen.
