PHILLIPS, NORMAN A.

lyn59954
(London, Royal Meteorological Society, 1956). 8vo. Extracted and with a nice marbled paper-backstrip (kind of representing the elements). Damp-staining to lower part of leaves. Pp. 123-164. Illustrated. First printing of Phillips' seminal paper, in which he presents for the first time his mathematical model that could realistically depict monthly and seasonal patterns in the troposphere. This became became the first successful general circulation model of climate (GCM). "Numerical models (General Circulation Models or GCMs), representing physical processes in the atmosphere, ocean, cryosphere and land surface, are the most advanced tools currently available for simulating the response of the global climate system to increasing greenhouse gas concentrations. While simpler models have also been used to provide globally - or regionally-averaged estimates of the climate response, only GCMs, possibly in conjunction with nested regional models, have the potential to provide geographically and physically consistent estimates of regional climate change which are required in impact analysis...GCMs depict the climate using a three dimensional grid over the globe, typically having a horizontal resolution of between 250 and 600 km, 10 to 20 vertical layers in the atmosphere and sometimes as many as 30 layers in the oceans." (IPCC - International Panel on Climate Change). In 1956, Norman Phillips developed a mathematical model that could realistically depict monthly and seasonal patterns in the troposphere, thus revolutionizing weather and climate change predition. It became the first successful climate model. Following Phillips' work, several groups began working to create GCMs that are now essential to predict climate change. "Steady improvements to short-range NWP accrued during the early 1950s, in large part due to more realistic models that accounted for energy conversion in extratropical cyclones. Encouraged by the success of these forecasts, IAS team member Norman Phillips began to contemplate longer-range prediction using the IAS computer. His work took the form of a numerical simulation of the atmosphere's general circu lation for a period of 1 month. The work was completed in 1955 and Phillips communicated the results to von Neumann, who immediately recognized their significance. Von Neumann hastily arranged a conference in October 1955, Application of Numerical Integration Techniques to the Problem of the General Circulation, held at Princeton University. In his opening statement at the conference, von Neumann said I should like to make a few general remarks concerning the problem of forecasting climate fluctuations and the various aspects of the general circulation that cause such fluctuations. Specifically, I wish to point out that the hydro-dynamical and computational efforts which have been made in connection with the problem of short-range forecasting serve as a natural introduction to an effort in this direction . . . With this philosophy in mind, we held our first meeting nine years ago at the Institute for Advanced Study to discuss the problem of short-range weather prediction. Since that time, a great deal of progress has been made in the subject, and we feel that we are now prepared to enter into the problem of forecasting the longer period fluctuations of the general circulation. (von Neumann 1955, 9-10) Following this conference, which highlighted his numerical experiment, Phillips entered the research into competition for the first Napier Shaw Memorial Prize, a prize honoring England's venerated leader of meteorology, Sir Napier Shaw (1854-1945), on the occasion of the centenary of his birth (the competition was announced in April 1954). The subject for the first competition was "the energetics of the atmosphere." On 20 June 1956, "the adjudicators recommended that the prize be given to Norman A. Phillips of the Institute of Advanced Study, Princeton, U.S.A. for his essay 'The general circulation of the atmosphere: a numerical experiment,' which had been published in the Quarterly Journal [of the Royal Meteorological Society] (82, p. 1230) [April 1956] ..." (Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society 1956b)" (Lewis: Clarifying the Dynamics of the General Circulation: Phillips's 1956 Experiment).

SAUSSURE, FERDINAND de.
Herman H. J. Lynge & Søn A/S
lyn38101
Lausanne & Paris, 1916. Lex 8vo. Uncut in the orig. printed wrappers. Minor wear w. minor loss to capitals and corner of front wrapper, otherwise an exceptionally nice copy. A few pages w. underlining. Text-illustrations. 336, (1, -errata) pp. The first edition of Saussure's seminal main work, which marks a turning point in the history of linguistics and had a monumental impact on related fields such as philosophy, logic, sociology, literary theory, etc. Because of this work, Saussure is considered the father of 20th century linguistics, and the influence of his ideas on the development of linguistic theory in the first half of the 20th century can hardly be overstated.After having published his "Mémoire sur le système primitif des voyelles dans les langues indo-européenes" in 1878, Saussure did not publish another full-length work in his life-time, and his "Course in General Linguistics" is a summary of the three lecture-courses he gave on linguistics at the University of Geneva in 1906-07, 1908-09 and 1910-11. The work was published posthumously by two of his former students and based on lecture notes. In this monumental work, based on his lectures, Saussure sets out to examine the relationship between language (langue) and speaking (parole), both as the relation of a social phenomenon to an individual phenomenon, and as the relation of a system to the concrete use of this system. He determines that there is a structured system of common signs between the users of a language, and that language can be analyzed as a formal system of elements. These elements are signs, signs that again can be divided into expression (signifiant) and content (signifié). This theory of language has deeply influenced all later theories of language.With this work, Ferdinand Saussure (1857-1913) thus came to occupy a seminal place in the history of language theory. In this work he is strongly focused on creating a science of language, free of its former embedment in archaeology, psychology, and also -or perhaps especially- the history of language. And he succeeds. Before his work, linguistics had had been dominated by a historical, though also partly structural, understanding of language, but now, Saussure introduced and determined the purpose and meaning of linguistics, the universal science of language. With Sausurre, linguistics now became, not only the study of the history of languages and of the influences that determine the development of it, but also, and primarily, the study of language and the study of the manifestations of human speech, of what makes human speech possible.Thus, there is no doubt as to the monumental impact of this groundbreaking work, and almost all language theoreticians ever since have been deeply influenced by it. In Europe, the Prague School with e.g. Roman Jakobson and the Copenhagen School with e.g. Louis Hjelmslev, and in America, Leonard Bloomfield and his followers (later Noam Chomsky), were all influenced by Saussure's theories and based their formings of structural linguistics on his basic notions.Saussure's work reached much farther, though, and the principles of structuralism came to deeply influence thinkers such as Jacques Lacan, Claude Lévi-Strauss etc., etc.

lyn50994
Geneve, Barrilot & Fils, 1748. 8vo. Contemporary full calf binding with gilt crowned monogram to centre of boards. Five raised bands and gilt title-label to richly gilt spine. All edges of boards gilt. A bit of wear to extremities. Very light browning to the first leaves and to the plates, the edges of which are also a bit bent, otherwise fine. Printed on good paper. A very nice copy indeed. XII,304 pp., 1 folded table and 3 folded engraved plates. First edition of this groundbreaking work, which describes for the first time the use of electricity for treatment of paralysis, laying the foundation for the use of electricity in medicine and for what was later to be known as electroconvulsive therapy. By applying electroshocks with a Leyden jar, Jallabert discovered that he could stimulate muscle regeneration and blood increase in a paralyzed limb, describing this breakthrough discovery for the first time in the present work. "After a succint account of what is known about electricity, Jallabert describes his observatuions on how electricity can stimulate muscles and reverse paralysis. Together with Guiot, a leading surgeon, he examines a locksmith called Nogues, and finds him paralysed on the right side as a result of an accidental blow to the head fourteen years before. The man could not move his arm, he had no sensation in it and he had no control over the fingers in his hand. Holding a Leiden jar in his healthy hand and touching it with his paralysed hand, Noguesd was treated with electric shocks for over an hour every day. Within two weeks an astonishing improvement in his condition was noted and three months later the patient had regained full use of his arm." (Gedeon, Science and technology in Medicine, No. 19)."This comprehensive work embraces the knowledge of the time on electric phenomena and theory; it has been frequently quoted. The author considers electricity to be a subtile, elastic fluid." (Wheeler Gift No 349). Wellcome IV:342 (but only having the second edition, 1749); Gedeon:19.

ROMAN REPUBLIC. C. MAMILIUS LIMETANUS.
Herman H. J. Lynge & Søn A/S
lyn60369
Rome, minted in 82 BC. 20mm. 3.74 g. Avery nice specimen, with clear imprint and light rubbing. Obverse: Draped bust of Mercury right, wearing winged petasos; caduceus and control letter behind. Reverse: Ulysses standing right, holding staff in left hand and extending right hand to Argus; C•MAMIL to left, LIMETAN to right. Crawford 362/1; BMCRR Rome 2725; RSC Mamilia 6. A denarius of the Roman Republic featuring one of the very few references to Homer's Odyssey in ancient coinage. On the obverse is Mercury, a god very much propitious to Odysseus, easily recognizable by the winged petasos and the caduceus. The reverse depicts one of the most moving passages in literature, hardly matched to this day. In book XVII (290-327) Odysseus returns to Ithaca disguised as a beggar. His faithful dog, Argos, has been waiting for his return for 20 years. Ignored, abandoned by everyone, the dog is ridden with ticks and fleas, lying in a pile of manure. Odysseus is accompanied to the palace by Eumaeus the shepherd, who is unaware of the beggar's true identity. Odysseus recognizes his dog and is forced to hide a single tear that rolls down his cheek. He cannot greet the dog, as that would give away his identidy. Argos, after all those years, recognizes his master as well, but if he were to run to him it would most certainly cause his death by the suitors. Here Homer cannot do anything other than to end the life of Argos, otherwise the entire Odyssey would have been for naught. So Argos dies upon the vision of his master having fulfilled his life purpose: to await his return. It is also the moment that marks the end of the twenty year cycle since Odysseus left for the Trojan War, thus announcing the imminent closing of the Trojan Cycle itself. The denarius' reverse depicts the idealized moment of the scene where master and dog would be just about to meet and greet each other, but as we have seen, the reunion cannot happen. "There lay the hound Argos, full of vermin; yet even now, when he marked Odysseus standing near, he wagged his tail and dropped both his ears, but nearer to his master he had no longer strength to move. Then Odysseus looked aside and wiped away a tear. [...] But as for Argos, the fate of black death seized him straightway when he had seen Odysseus in the twentieth year." Mamilius Limetanus is one of the three moneyers for the year 82 BC. The moneyers, selected every year, were magistrates in charge of the production of coinage, and they were at liberty to determine the design of the coins, which were often deities and characters associated with their personal family history. Like most Roman Patricians, Limetanus claimed to be a descendant of a Homeric character, in this case, Odysseus—Julius Caesar's family, for example, thought themselves to be descendants of Aeneas. A wonderful specimen of this magnificent Roman denarius.

Utrecht, Waesberge, 1648,1655, 1659 & 1669. 4to. Uniformly bound in four contemporary full vellum binding with yapp edges and author in contemporary hand to spine. Small paper-label pasted on to top of spine. Bindings with light soiling and a few dots and marks. Two stamps to each title-page. Vol. 1 and 5 internally fine and clean. Vol. 2 and 3 with dampstain to upper half of first and last leaves.

Gisbertus Voetius was born in Heusden, North Brabant, Netherlands. He studied theology at Leiden and served as a Reformed minister in Vlijmen and Heusden from 1610 to 1634. Voetius was instrumental in founding Utrecht University, where he held the position of professor of Semitic languages and theology from 1634 until 1676. His involvement with mission issues began at the Synod of Dordrecht, where he addressed the question of whether children from non-Christian backgrounds living with Dutch families in the East Indies could be baptized. “Voetius emphasized that missions are grounded in both the hidden and revealed will of God. Only apostles and assemblies such as synods have the right to establish missions; it is not the right of the pope, nor princes and magistrates, nor companies to do so. The goals of mission are the conversion of non-believers, heretics, and schismatics; the planting, gathering, and establishing of churches; and the glorification and manifestation of divine grace. Mission churches, he maintained, should not be subordinated to the sending churches in Europe”. (Boston University, School of Theology, History of Missiology)

Toulouse, Pierre Bosc, 1628 & 1639 & 1638. 8vo. In contemporary vellum with yap edges. Title in contemporary hand to spine. Light soling and miscolouring to extremities. Small repair to title-page, not affecting text. Light occassional brownspotting throughout. "Hydrographum spagyricum" evenly miscoloured. A good copy. 352; (8), 260, (12); (14), 276, (14); 132, (2) pp. Myrothecium spagyricum: 352 pp. only (lacking the second part of the work, "Insignes curationes variorum morborum, quos medicamentis chymicis jucundissima methodo curavit..."). An interesting sammelband of four of Fabre’s most important works. “Myrothecium Spagyricum” (Part 1 only as usual) being the first edition and the remaining three works being later editions. “Myrothecium Spagyricum” opens with an overview of Paracelsian spagyric medicine, which involves the chemical separation of substances into their fundamental elements, the first part of the book explores the essence of medicaments and their distinction from poisons. Subsequent chapters cover the quintessence of blood and the flesh of various animals like vipers, worms, toads, and crabs for distillation. Parts II and III elaborate on the extraction of the spirit from plants and minerals, including substances such as sulfur, vitriol, and antimony, detailing their characteristics and applications. Part IV delves into the utilization of chemical oils derived from simples and animals through the alchemical art of pyrotechnics. The succeeding sections address specific preparations. Part V concentrates on herbal waters, Part VI on syrups, Part VII on pills crafted from mercury, antimony, vitriol, and others, Part VIII on ointments, and finally, Part IX on electuaries. "Fabre, a native of Castelnaudary in Languedoc, was born in the latter part of the sixteenth century, and lived until 1650. He was a physician at his native place at Montpellier. He was also a voluminous writer, but his work has been judged unfavourably by different critics" (Ferguson).

Brunswick, F. Vieweg und Sohn, 1844. 8vo. 2 volumes bound in one contemporary half calf binding with gilt lettering to spine. Previous owner's stamp to front free end-paper. Light brownspotting throughout, especially to first and last leaves. XVI, 319, VIII, 301, (3) pp. + 1 folded map. Rare first German translation of Darwin's Journal of researches, now known as Voyage of the Beagle, constituting the very first translation of any of Darwin's works into any language. As Darwin later recalled in his autobiography 'The voyage of the Beagle has been by far the most important event in my life and has determined my whole career'. "On its first appearance in its own right, also in 1839, it was called Journal of researches into the geology and natural history etc. The second edition, of 1845, transposes 'geology' and 'natural history' to read Journal of researches into the natural history and geology etc., and the spine title is Naturalist's voyage. The final definitive text of 1860 has the same wording on the title page, but the spine readsNaturalist's voyage round the world, and the fourteenth thousand of 1879 places A naturalist's voyage on the title page. The voyage of the Beagle first appears as a title in the Harmsworth Library edition of 1905. It is a bad title: she was only a floating home for Darwin, on which, in spite of good companionship, he was cramped and miserably sea-sick; whilst the book is almost entirely about his expeditions on land."

London, Lockyer Davis, and Peter Elmsly, 1782. 4to. In recent marbled paper wrappers. Extracted from "Philosophical Transactions", vol. 71, read April 26, 1781. Including title-page of volume. Leaves reinforced in margin. (2), V-VII, 492-501 pp. + three folded plates. First edition of Herschel's seminal paper being the first recorded discovery of a new planet. Herschel's "discovery [was] unprecedented in human history. [...] Herschel's "new" planet demonstrated that there is much more to the universe - even to our tiny solar system - than the eye can discern on its own." (Lemonick, The Georgian Star).British astronomer William Herschel commenced "his first review of the heavens, in which he examined stars down to the fourth magnitude. In August of that year he began a second review, more systematic and extensive than the first, and concentrated on the discovery of double stars" (Dictionary of Scientific Biography)In March 1781, during his search for double stars, Herschel noticed an object appearing as a disk. Herschel originally thought it was a comet or a stellar disc, which he believed he might actually resolve. He reported the sighting to Nevil Maskelyne the Astronomer Royal. He made many more observations of it, and afterwards Russian Academician Anders Lexell computed the orbit and found it to be probably planetary. Herschel agreed, determining that it must be a planet beyond the orbit of Saturn. He called the new planet the "Georgian star" (Georgium sidus) after King George III, which also brought him favour; the name did not hold. In France, where reference to the British king was to be avoided if possible, the planet was known as "Herschel" until the name "Uranus" was universally adopted. The same year, Herschel was awarded the Copley Medal and elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. In 1782, he was appointed "The King's Astronomer" (not to be confused with the Astronomer Royal).

The very scarce second edition of Suberti's (or Subertus') Manual of pastoral visitation, also called the "de visitatine episcopali", an important tool for Renaissance priests.The work originally appeared in 1504, also printed by Remboldt and Gerin, but the present second edition of 1508 is of special interest, as it constitutes the very final collaboration of the two great printers. Ulrich Gerin, who is famous for being the first printer in Paris and the founder of the first printing office in France, began a partnership with the excellent famous printer Bertold Remboldt during the last decade of the the 15th century. Out of this collaboration appeared some excellent works (that are now sought after), and the partnership lasted till Gerin's death (ab. 1509). The last work that they did together was the second edition of Suberti's visitation manual, which appeared on the 8th of March 1508. After the death of Gerin, Remboldt continued on his own.Another edition of the work appeared in 1514. All three editions are scarce.Adams, S:2018.

Amsterdam, Hendrik en de Weduwe van Dirk Boom, 1681, 1664 & 1665. 4to. In contemporary full calf with four raised bands and richly gilt spine. Small paper-label pasted on to top of spine. A bit of wear to extremities. Back-boards with a few worm-tracts. Internally with a few worm-tracts in last part, overall a nice and clean copy. (4), 37, (3), 188, (4), 188, (4), 195, (5), 187, (5), 186, (6), 185, (11) pp. + portrait and 21 plates (out of 25). Rare dutch translation of Dalle Valle’s famous travel-account to Turkey, Egypt, the Holy Land, Syria, Iraq, Persia and India, being one of the earliest printed sources for the early history of the United Arab Emirates. Della Valle's writings and collections have made significant contributions to the understanding of the cultures and societies he encountered during his journeys and his account of his travels is today regarded as being of seminal importance not only for the history of the Middle East but of travel-literature in general.“His perceptive and detailed letters, enriched by the romance and poignancy of his devotion to his wife, together create one of the finest works of travel literature” (Howgego).The present copy being the second Dutch edition of part 1 (1681) and last 5 parts (1664 & 1665) all being first Dutch translations. Pietro della Valle embarked on his travels in 1614, departing from Venice, Italy. Over the course of his journey he visited numerous countries and regions, including the Middle East, India, and Persia. Della Valle's initial travels took him to the Middle East, where he visited places such as Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul), Aleppo, Baghdad, and Jerusalem. He explored various cultural and historical sites documenting his experiences in letters and journals. After returning to Italy, Della Valle set out on a second journey in 1623, this time traveling to India. He visited cities such as Goa, Surat, and Agra, where he met with local rulers and learned about the culture and customs of the region. Della Valle also visited the court of the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan and witnessed the construction of the Taj Mahal. Following his time in India, Della Valle traveled to Persia (modern-day Iran). He visited cities such as Isfahan, Shiraz, and Persepolis, where he studied Persian language and culture. Della Valle's travels in Persia provided him with insights into the Safavid Empire and its society. Della Valle returned to Italy in 1628, bringing back with him a vast collection of artifacts, manuscripts, and cultural items. He spent the remaining years of his life in Italy, where he continued to write about his travels and share his experiences with scholars and intellectuals. Throughout his travels, Pietro della Valle documented his experiences through letters, journals, and other writings, which have provided valuable insights into the regions he visited during the 17th century. His accounts have since become important historical sources for scholars studying the cultures, societies, and geopolitics of the Middle East, India and Persia during that time period.

CONSTITUTION OF SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN -
Herman H. J. Lynge & Søn A/S
lyn59828
Kiel, Schmers'sche Buchhandlung, 1848. 8vo. In the original blank blue wrappers. Provisional repair with tape to spine. Front-wrapper missing upper inner corner. Two stamps to half-title, title-page and verso of title-page. Upper outer corner of half-title missing, far from affecting text. Occassional brownspotting throughout. 34 pp. with a blank leaf inserted between every printed leaf (giving a total of 33 ff., including the blanks). The rare first printing of the drafting of the constitution by the provisional government for the Duchies of Schleswig-Holstein. In 1848 the Schleswig-Holsteiners decided to establish a provisional government and oust the Danish king. The subsequent war (1848-1851) achieved a status quo until a permanent solution between Denmark and Germany was reached in 1920. The 1848-1852 events in Schleswig-Holstein were a Danish-German confrontation. The underlying issues were complex: The kingdom of Denmark and the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein were component parts of the Danish Monarchy and were united in the person of the king/duke. Schleswig was a Danish fief, Holstein a member of the German Confederation. A 1665 law introduced succession through the female line in Denmark, with the survival of Salic law in the duchies held in abeyance. Schleswig had a strong Danish element in the north, Holstein was German. "With the extinction of the male royal line in the offing, Christian VIII declared in 1846 that the 1665 law applied to Schleswig and (with some reservation) to Holstein. Protests in the duchies had not been resolved, when in the wake of the February revolution the liberals in Copenhagen took over and moved toward the annexation of Schleswig. In defiance, the estates of Schleswig and Holstein set up a provisional government on March 24. Being composed of liberals and conservatives it obtained popular and official support in Germany, and with Prussian military support gained control of most of the duchies by midsummer. But then Britain and Prussia intervened, pressuring Prussia to make a truce with Denmark (at Malmö, August 26, 1848), a truce which caused a parliamentary crisis in Frankfurt. In a short time Schleswig-Holstein had become the national issue, and by acceding to the Malmö truce the Frankfurt Assembly severely damaged its political credit.Fighting resumed in 1849 and was ended by a July truce. After losing German military support, the duchies were defeated in the 1850 campaign. The government abdicated on February 1, 1851, and the Danish authorities took over a year later. In the final settlement the powers restored the Danish monarchy with the succession in the duchies to follow that of the kingdom (Second London Protocol of May 8, 1852). In separate notes the Danish government agreed to preserve the status of Schleswig and to abstain from steps leading to its incorporation. While the agreements restored the balance of power, the relations between Danes and Germans suffered, eroding popular sentiment for the Danish monarchy. Also Schleswig became a matter of outside concern, permitting Prussian intervention in the case of Danish non-compliance." (Ohio Univerty; Lawrence D. Steefel, Sleswig-Holstein Question).

ØRSTED (OERSTED), H.C. - THE DISCOVERY OF ELECTROMAGNETISM - FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT IN FRENCH.

lyn46026
(Paris, Crochard, 1820). No wrappers. In "Annales". In "Annales de Chimie et de Physique, Par MM. Gay-Lussac et Arago" Tome XIV, Cahier 4, Titlepage to vol. 14 + pp. 337-442. (Entire issue offered). Ørsted's paper: pp. 417-25. A few scattered brownspots. First French translation and the first translation of Oersted's epoch-making announcement in his Latin pamphlet "Extperimenta circa effectum conflictus electrici in acun magneticam. Hafniæ, 1820" (privately printed in a very small number, and only distributed to colleques in Europe). This discovery and confirmation of the connection between 2 forces, electricity and magnetism, must be considered one of the happiest events in the history of science, both with regard to scientific and practical results. - "From the moment that Ørsted's discovery became known it created an enormous sensation. The results communicated were so astounding that they were received with a certain distrust, but they were stated with such accuracy that it could hardly be permitted to entertain any doubts. In the course of a short time the treatise was translated into all the chief languages." (Kirstine Meyer). - Dibner:61 - PMM: 282 - Horblitt: 3 b. - Sparrow: 152.

EUCLID (EUKLID) OF ALEXANDRIA. - TARTAGLIA'S TRANSLATION.

lyn34674
Venetia, Curtio Trojano, 1565. 4to. Bound in a very nice recent hcalf in old style. Raised bands and richly gilt back. 315,(1) leaves (=632 pp). Profusely illustrated with gemetrical diagramss in the text. Printers woodcut-device at end. Small part of lower right corner of title gone, no loss of text. Light browning to first and last leaf. 6 last leaves with a faint dampstain. Very light browning to outher margins. Otherwise a fine clean copy. Scarce second edition of Tartaglia's very influential translation of all Euclid's 15 Books, as this Italian translation of Euclid was the first translation at all into the vernacular. The translation by Tartaglia was first published 1543 and was founded on the latin edition of Campanus and Zambetti.Niccolo Fontana of Brescia has a great name in the history of mathematics. A cut in the face from a French soldier caused him to stammer and as a consequence of this he was called 'Tartaglia'. He is famous for his solution of third-degree equations which occasioned a long polemic with Cardano about priority. He is also known for "Tartaglia's Triangle", later known as "Pascal's Triangle", and he is well-known for his Archimedes-edition of 1543 and 1551 with his commentaries."The most famous source of Greek geometry is the monumental work of Euclid of Alexandria, called the "Elements" (around 300 B.C.). No other book of science had a comparable influence on the intellectual development of mankind. It was a treatise of geometry in thirteen books which included all the fundamental results of scientific geometry up to his time. Euclid did not claim for himself any particular discovery, he was merely a compiler. Yet, in view of the systematic arrangement of the subject matter and the exact logical procedure followed, we cannot doubt that he himself provided a large body of specific formulations and specific auxiliary theorems in his deductions. It is no longer possible to pass judgement on the authorship of much of this material; his book was meant as a textbook of geometry which paid attention to the material, while questions of priority did not enter the discussion." (Cornelius Lanzos in "Space through the Ages").Max Steck III:72 - Thomas-Stanford: 39 - Riccardi Euclideana V:1 - Adams E:993. - Brunet II:1090.

(THOMISSØN, HANS). - HANS THOMMISØNS SALMEBOG 1617.
Herman H. J. Lynge & Søn A/S
lyn49853
(København, aff Georgio Hantzsch, paa Peder Anderssens ... Bekostning, 1617). 8vo. Indsat i et senere hellæderbind. Eksemplaret er ufuldstændigt. Et komplet eksemplar skal have: Kalender og Fortale: (28) blade, Salmerne: 370 blade, Register og Efterskrift: (14) blade. Eksemplaret her har kun 2 blade (med mangler) af de første 28 blade. Af Salmerne foreligger blad 1-367 (af 370, men med 21 manglende blade ind imellem). De sidste 14 blade (Register og Efterskrift) mangler. Ialt foreligger 347 blade (= 694 sider) af 412. Hele vejen igennem med kraftige brugsspor, rifter, nedslidte hjørner m.v. Salmeafdelingen (den mest komplette afdeling) er med talrige noder. Et af de foreliggende blade af Fortalen har en træstukken illustration, ligeledes blad 1 af Salmerne. Yderst sjældent forekommende selv, som her, i ukomplet form, af Thomissøns skelsættende samling af Reformationstidens spredte salmedigtning. Salmebogen udkom første gang 1569 og blev i næsten 2 århundreder den autoriserede kirkesalmebog for Danmark og Norge indtil den i 1699 blev afløst af Kingos. Thomissøns salmebog er en uvurderlig kilde til det danske musikliv i Reformationstiden. Omkring 200 af de 269 salmer er her sat i musik og forsynet med noder.Alle de tidlige udgaver af salmebogen, ligeledes denne - som er den anden trykt i 1600-tallet - er af største sjældenhed, især jo udgaverne fra før 1600. Kun ganske få komplette er bevaret, næsten alle i offentlige samlinger. Det foreliggende trykt tilhører 8vo-gruppen med noder, og det er det tryk - af de tidlige - med den største klumme, en smule større end 8vo-trykkene fra 1500-tallet.Bibl. Danica II:326. - Thesaurus II: 637. - Åke Davidsson: 38.

Upper corner on the 2 last leaves gone and repaired with some loss of letters. Internally clean and fine, printed on good paper. The rare second edition of this important encyclopedic work in all branches of military craftmanship and construction relating to artillery. Due to its character as a synthesis of everything pertaining to artillery and military subjects, the work became highly influential and very widely spread. It thus went through three editions within the first 50 years, the first being the only 17th century edition. The numerous illustrations depict all thinkable parts of military science, including canons, gunpowder, mines etc. Rumpf,1145; not in Jordan; not in Brunet (only an edition from 1745). - Slooos, Warfare and the Age of printing, 7036 (having only 170 plates).

XXIV,626,(3);VIII,578;(8),530 pp., 2 tables (one folded) and 9 double-page folded engraved plates (8+1). A bit of soiling and browning to title-page in volume 1. Volume 3 has a rather faint dampstain to the lower third of leaves, causing a bit of yellowing to some leaves in the middle of the volume. A few scattered brownspots,but clean. Scarce first German edition of his "Introductio in analysin infinitorum" from 1748, a work by which Euler lays the foundation of modern mathematical analysis, by summarizing his numerous discoveries in infinite series, infinite products, and continued fractions, and it is here he introduces the CONCEPT OF FUNCTION by the notation F(x), and defines it as any analytical expression formed in any manner from a variable quantity and constants. He includes polynomials, power series, and logarithmic and trigonometric expressions. He also defines a function of several variables. - "Euler's book is one of the few books on mathematics that is mentioned by John Carter and Percy H. Muir in their Printing and the Mind of Man. There Euler is compared with Euclid: what Euclid did with his "Elements" for geometry, Euler did with his "Introductio" for analysis. It was by means of this textbook that analysis became an independent discipline within mathematics." (Karin Reich in "Landmark Writings in Western Mathematics"). Enestrom (Euler Archive): E 101-02 (Introductio) - Volume 3 is not listed by Enestrom, and it comprises 7 memoirs on equations, 2 by Euler and 5 by Lagrange. All 7 are first German translations as the memoirs originally appeared in Latin and French in St. Petersbourg Akad. der Wissenschaften and in Königl. Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Berlin. (Euler: translation of Enestrom E 30 (1738) and E 282 (1764)).The 5 memoirs by Lagrange consist of his famous contributions to the theory of algebraic equations originally published in French in Königl. Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Berlin 1769-73, here in the first German translations, and among these his groundbreaking "Von der Auflösung der numerischen Gleichungen" (Sur la Résolution des Équations Numèriques 1769), where he provides methods, by examining the roots of algebraic equations, of separating the real and imaginary roots of approximating the real roots with continued fractions.Enestrom E 101-102 (1. ed., not listing vol. 3) - PMM: 196 (Introductio).

SCACCIA, SIGISMONDO.

lyn53755
Romae, Sumptibus A. Brugiotti, 1619. Folio. In a later half calf binding with 4 raised bands, gilt lettering and gilt ornamentation to spine. Light wear to extremities, a fine and clean copy. (8), 755, (124) pp. First edition of Scaccia excleedingly influential and popular work on commercial and exchange law, being one of the very first modern treatises on banking and economic theory to represent the new liberal ideas from the period. From the time of Scaccia's Tractatus Commerciis exchange transactions were an important topic in this literature (Rogers, The civilians and the law of bills in the seventeenth century). The work was reprinted 7 times up until 1738. Scaccia did not conceal his liberal attitude concerning loans and other credit transactions. His standard work [the present] on commercial and exchange law received ecclesiastical approval."He rejected the views of Du Moulin on usury and followed the traditional precepts of canon law. Yet he moderated the theory on the illegality of interest by adapting it to the business practices and economic ideas of his time. Even when there was no 'mora', or delay in repayment of a loan, he wrote, it may be licit to charge interest from the first day of the loan, if the creditor would suffer a loss because of 'damnum emergens' or 'lucrum cessans'. He referred to exchange dealing as an inextricable labyrinth designed to evade the usury laws" (Houkes). He justified profit in exchanges from place to place because of differences in value and price: "The fact that, by reason of the greater scarcity or abundance of money in different places, a larger or smaller sum may be given or accepted appears in the transactions commonly effected between Italy and France. For when money is scarce in France on account of the civil wars there, and plentiful in Italy, whoever delivers money in France for repayment in Italy will receive more than he gave. On the other hand, a merchant who delivers money in Italy for repayment in France will receive less. Yet this is no usury, for one sum is equal to the other, on account of the relative abundance and scarcity of money".Houkes p. 361-2Kress 369Einaudi 5141Ciasca, 172Mattioli 3249 (The 1669-edition)
