La famiglia Selva, ottici del '700 veneziano / Alberto Lualdi.
Abstract:
A new research about the Selva family of opticians and instrument makers in Venice during the XVIII century is described in this article. From Domenico, the grandfather (d. 1758), to the famous Lorenzo (1716 - 1800) and his sons Giuseppe or Jacopo (1755 - ?) and Domenico (1761 - ?) and through the books and pamphlets they left, a large and distinguished production confirms their leadership in the field. A list of the extant instruments is also given
