Popis: Prvo izdanje Getaldićeva djela De resolutione et compositione mathematica (1630) posmrtno je tiskano u vatikanskoj tiskari Typographia Reverendae Camerae Apostolicae po nalogu Francesca Barberinija, »kardinala nećaka« pape Urbana VIII. i »kardinala zaštitnika« Dubrovačke Republike. Ali osim prvoga izdanja postoji i izdanje istoga djela iz 1640. godine, u literaturi zabilježeno samo jednom – u Jurićevoj bibliografiji hrvatskoga neolatinizma. Na temelju usporedbe zaključeno je da postoje samo četiri razlike između tih dvaju izdanja: prva se odnosi na godinu izdanja, a ostale tri tiču se kardinala Francesca Barberinija, odnosno plemićke obitelji Barberini. »Pčele vladarice«, heraldičko obilježje Barberinija, uklonjene su na dvama mjestima u izdanju 1640. godine: na naslovnici i u likovnoj opremi pisma vatikanskoga tiskara Andree Brogiottija knezu Taddeu Barberiniju, vrhovnom zapovjedniku papinske vojske. Pismo triju kćerkica Marina Getaldića kardinalu Francescu Barberiniju, koje sadrži izričaj »pčele vladarice« (regnatrices apes), uvršteno u malen broj primjeraka prvoga izdanja, nije pronađeno u proučenom primjerku izdanja iz 1640. godine. Promjene se dakle odnose samo na naslovnicu i paratekstove, dok je knjižni blok Getaldićevih pet knjiga o matematičkim metodama analize i sinteze ostao nepromijenjen. Stoga je zaključeno da je izdanje 1640. nastalo tako što su u neprodanom dijelu naklade prvoga izdanja Getaldićeva remek-djela iz 1630. zamijenjena prva tri ili dva lista, ovisno o tomu je li primjerak sadržavao pismo Getaldićevih kćerkica kardinalu Francescu Barberiniju ili ne. Izdanje iz 1640. godine stoga je pseudoizdanje bez barberinijevskih »pčela vladarica« i zrcali nastojanje prema smanjenom isticanju vlastitoga plemićkoga roda pri kraju papinstva Urbana VIII., Maffea Barberinija. Dosad su poznata samo tri primjerka pseudoizdanja Getaldićeva djela De resolutione et compositione mathematica libri quinque iz 1640. godine: jedan se nalazi u British Library u Londonu pod signaturom 50.e.6, drugi u Bibliothèque nationale de France u Parizu pod signaturom V-1492, a treći je pohranjen u Michigen University Library u gradu Ann Arbor i dostupan je od 2009. godine u digitaliziranom izdanju u Google Books. Upravo je treći primjerak poslužio pri uspoređivanju s izdanjem Getaldićeva remek-djela iz 1630. godine.
The first edition of Marin Getaldić’s masterpiece De resolutione et compositione mathematica (1630) was printed posthumously in the Vatican printing-house of the Reverend Apostolic Camera by order of the powerful Francesco Barberini, “cardinal nephew” of Pope Urban VIII and “cardinal protector” of the Dubrovnik Republic. Yet apart from the mentioned first edition, there was also another edition in 1640, recorded in literature only once – in Jurić’s bibliography of Croatian Neo-Latinism Croatiae scriptores (1971). A comparison of these two editions has resulted in merely four differences: the first, naturally, relates to the year of edition, while the remaining three concern Cardinal Francesco Barberini, that is, the Barberini noble lineage. “Ruling bees,” heraldic insignia of the Barberini family, have been removed from two places in the 1640 edition: from the title page and from the decorative layout of the letter of the Vatican printer Andrea Brogiotti to Prince Taddeo Barberini, supreme commander of the Papal Army. The letter of Marin Getaldić’s three little daughters to Cardinal Francesco Barberini, which contains the syntagm “ruling bees” (regnatrices apes) and was included in a few copies of the first edition, has not been found in the analyzed copy of the 1640 edition. The changes, thus, refer only to the title page and the front matter, while Getaldić’s five books on the methods of analysis and synthesis in mathematics have remained intact. Therefore, this leads to a conclusion that the 1640 edition owes its publishing to the fact that in the unsold copies of the first edition of Getaldić’s masterpiece from 1630 the first three or two pages were changed, depending on whether the copy contained the letter of Getaldić’s daughters to Cardinal Francesco Barberini or not. Clearly, the edition from 1640 is therefore a pseudo-edition without Barberini “ruling bees” and mirrors a trend towards lesser presence of Barberini’s heraldic insignia in public in the last years of the papacy of Urban VIII, Maffeo Barberini. Until now only three copies of the pseudo-edition of Getaldić’s work De resolutione et compositione mathematica libri quinque from 1640 are known: the first is housed in the British Library in London under shelfmark 50.e.6, the second in the Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris under shelfmark V-1492, and the third is kept in the Michigen University Library in Ann Arbor, and since 2009 is accessible in digitized form at Google Books. The first two copies were documented in Jurić’s bibliography, while the third was used for comparison with the first edition from 1630.
