The _Exercitationes_ were first published in 1621, four years after the death of the author. The work belongs to the long tradition of studies on the pseudo-Aristotelian _Mechanical Problems_ developed during the Renaissance but, unlike most other works written during the sixteenth century, it takes a critical position against the theoretical approach of the pseudo-Aristotelian text. The _Exercitationes_ display a systematic application of Archimedean principles to the explanation of the questions discussed in _Mechanical Problems_ illustrating the patchwork character of preclassical mechanics. Moreover, Baldi's work presents lengthy digressions that considerably widen the boundaries of mechanics.MAX PLANCK RESEARCH LIBRARY FOR THE HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF KNOWLEDGE / SOURCES ; 3early modern periodMPRLEdition Open Accessmechanicshistory of scienceElio Nenciauth1296679NenciElio256964BOOK996320834903316Bernardino Baldi’s In mechanica Aristotelis problemata exercitationes3024214UNISA
