It is divided into two parts: the first part deals with mechanics, while the second part deals with optics.In the first part, Barletti discusses various topics related to mechanics, including the laws of motion, the principles of equilibrium, and the properties of fluids. He also presents several experiments that demonstrate these principles, such as the famous experiment with the inclined plane.The second part of the book focuses on optics, including the properties of light, the laws of reflection and refraction, and the formation of images in mirrors and lenses. Barletti also presents several experiments related to optics, such as the experiment with the prism.Overall, Physica Specimina is a comprehensive and detailed book that covers many aspects of physics. It is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both scientists and non-scientists alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
