BM STC (Italian Books) 34; Adams A 1310; Zeuthen, Die Lehre von den Kegelschnitten im Altertum (Kopenhagen 1886/1902); Branko
Mitrovic - Vittoria Senes: Vincenzo Scamozzi's Annotations to Daniele Barbaro's Commentary on Vitruvius' De Architectura in: Annali di
architettura 14/2002. This is the first important edition of the first four books of Apollonius of Perge's "Conica". Books five to seven
remained unknown up to 1710 when Edmund Halley received a manuscript in Arabian from the collection of Johan Golius. He then
published a latin translation of books five to seven, an outlook on the lost book eight, and a greek version of books one to four. Apollonius of
Perge's "Conica" remains together with Euclid's "Geometry" the most important mathematical treatise of ancient Greece. Descartes and
Newton used it for their studies and further developments. Our copy is complete and very well preserved but in a later binding. This is also
Vincenzo Scamozzi's copy with his own entry in MS on the title-page: "De ex libris Vincentij Scamotij". Another MS entry on leaf 25r
"Hyperbola - Ellipsi - Circuli" might also be from Scamozzi. Books from the library of Vincenzo Scamozzi are rare and can hardly be found
in the trade.

discarding the geometrical analogies used by Huygens and Newton and adopting advanced mathematical analysis, Bernoulli was able to treat
successfully a number of problems in fluid dynamics, earning him the title of one of the founders of mathematical physics... Other important
observations in the Hydrodynamica include the convertibility of heat to work and the quantification of the physiology of work, e.g. the
maximum work, in energy terms, a man can perform in a day" (Hill, Cat.91 (1995), No.9).

Adams U7; Riccardi II,178; DSB IX,487ff; Biblioteca Mechanica 228f. - First edition of the author's first work, which is generally regarded
as the most important treatise on mechanics since Archimedes and a critical influence on Galileo. It is notable for its commitment to
establishing mechanics on a rigorously mathematical basis and for its powerful argument that mechanics and statics are separate sciences.
The work has technological implications for navigation, manufacture and the plastic arts, and it remained pre-eminent until the appearance of
Galileo's "Two New Sciences" in 1638. "It marks the high point of the Archimedean revival of the Renaissance" (Rose, Italian Renaissance
of Mathematics, p.222). Guidobaldo del Monte studied mathematics at Padua and Urbino, where he studied with Commandino. This is a
complete and very well preserved copy of this scarce book. Old ownership stamp and entry at the beginning, one erased stamp on title-page,
manuscript correction on f 40, some smaller wormwholes in the broad white margins, and one repaired tear on f.112. Otherwise a remarkable

VD 17 23:244314V; Fincham, Chiromancy and German Academic Orthodoxy. First edition of a very rare book with 153 woodcuts and two
additions. "However, the proof that chiromancy was on the syllabus at Wittenberg comes from the writings of Nicholas Pompeius, for
Pompeius was a professor of elementary mathematics at Wittenberg and gave lectures on chiromancy around 1653. The notes from these
lectures are themselves still extant and, after finding their way into Praetorius' "Ludium Chiromanticum", were printed in bookform with
additional woodcut illustrations by one of his students some seventeen years later. Two works on chiromancy from Pompeius have come
down to us today, "Figurae Chiromanticae" and "Praecepta Chiromantica" both of which seem to have been first published in Hamburg in
1682. Just as in Italy we saw that chiromancy found favour with the ecclesiastical authorities of the day so, from evidence of Leipzig and
Wittenberg Universities, we can see that in Germany, chiromancy was also respected in the highest intellectual and academic circles"
(Fincham).

work. "Raynal is the first economic writer of the eighteenth century whose works present a picture of that interior struggle of the two
revolutions. He declaims like a tribune of the people: he apostrophizes, he inveighs, in the manner of the demagogues; but his vehement
philippics against the trade in blacks and his animated pictures of monopoly and its consequences in the two Indies, assign him a respectable
place among the founders of industrial and commercial emancipation. He foreshadowed the economic revolution of the nineteenth century,
of which the independence of the United States form the first episode. His work will remain as a souvenir of the first efforts consecrated to
the defence of labor and the regeneration of the laborers" (Blanqui 417f). The atlas contains 50 plates, 20 of them are related to America.
