Rare first edition. The work demonstrates the intense debate involving the Galilean group: is one of the episodes of the long-running controversy which pitted the Grandi and Marchetti, born of censorship made by Marchetti work of the Grandi De quadrature circuli containing a proposition judged ' impious'. Discussing the limits and possibilities of the new calculus, in fact, Grandi proposed a 'infinite sum amount than a finite amount': showed to believe that the new infinite logic possessed of power to try the passage from nothing to being. Marchetti, suspicious of the infinitesimal calculus, indicated that from anything that could not be nothing.
