Giovanni Alfonso Borelli and the books of others: a contribution to the reconstruction of Borelli’s library

This work aims to supplement and expand the reconstruction of Giovanni Alfonso Borelli’s library. By relying on the ex libris displayed on the title page of some volumes preserved at the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale in Rome, 241 volumes originally belonging to Borelli have been identified. The list significantly integrates the one presented by Baldini in 1996 by not only roughly doubling the number of titles, but also incorporating areas of study that were left completely uncovered.
