first edition. "Patrizi's importance in the history of science rests primarily on his high original views concerning the nature of space . . . seen in his Della nuova geometria . . . In it Patrizi attempted to found a system of geometry in which space was a fundamental, undefined concept that entered into the basic definitions (point, line, angle) of the system"--DSB X, 416.
