Sobre este artículo
Madrid, en la Imprenta Real, 1807. 8vo. (1 blank). 3 leaves. 58 pages. 1 engraved plate. (1 blank). Full red morocco, flat ornamented spine, royal arms gilt on top board, gilt fillet on the leading edges of sides, all edges gilt (contemporary binding, small wormholes on spine). First and unique Spanish translation of this dissertation on the discovery of two zodiacs in Egypt during Napoleonic campaigns. Their dating caused a strong polemic among the astronomers of the period (Lalande, Burckhardt, etc.), as it seemed to put biblical chronology in question. Abbé Testa, supported by the archeologist Visconti, became the leader of the Bible partisans and dated the zodiacs of the 3rd century BF. The work is illustrated with a large engraved plate depicting the capitals of the temples of Dendera and Henné. Precious armorial binding of King of Spain Carlos IV (1788-1808). Palau, 331020.
