Presentation copy of the second amended and enlarged edition of this study on the fossils of the Bolca quarry by the famous Italian physician and early pioneer in geologyThe work is dedicated to Clelia (or Celia) Grillo Borromeo, a female mathematician and scientist. In her Milan salon she received famous scientists, including Vallisneri.In opposition to the Diluvian theory advocated by Scheuchzer and Woodward, Vallisneri accepted in Dei Corpi Marini “Fracastoro‘s concept that fossil shells found on mountains were there because the land had once been under the sea and had not been carried there by the Flood” (DSB XIII, 564). The first blank leaf bears Vallisneri‘s presentation inscription in brown ink. Unfortunately the first two lines with the dedicatee‘s name is blotted out, causing a small corrosion to the paper.The two works are often bound together. [369072].
