P3 mis-signed a3. 6-1/4" x 3-3/4" <br/><br/>This a translation of Camus' Élise ou L'innocence Coupable which was first published in 1621. "Jean-Pierre Camus was one of the most prolific authors of the period 1620-1648. His prose is succinct without the elaborate rhetoric of authors -- such as Antoine de Nervèze -- from the previous generation. He also shows a vast knowledge of poetry. Camus's first works were strongly influenced by the Essays of Michel de Montaigne albeit with more religious content. His spiritual works were directly inspired by Saint François de Sales; he was critical of mendicant orders and wrote extensively on poverty grace and spiritual reflection. His fictional works encompass both novels and short stories. His dark and violent stories often based on contemporary anecdotes or criminal incidents he wrote over 1000 such works were in the tradition of the horrific tales "histoires tragiques" of Matteo Bandello popular in France in the late Renaissance and early seventeenth century. His longer works show the influence of ancient Greek novels such as the works of Heliodorus of Emesa and Achilles Tatius with their scenes of tempests and kidnappings. Much of his fiction has a moralistic intention showing human folly the unruliness of passions the dangers of illicit love and the saving grace of divine love."

2378Engraved vignettes on titles depicting the lemniscate & 16 folding engraved plates. xxiv 528 pp.; xii 536 pp. Two vols. Large 4to mid-19th cent. half-vellum & marbled boards occasional minor stains entirely uncut. Pesaro: Stamperia Gavelliana 1750. First edition of a rare work containing the important collected writings of Fagnano 1682-1766 Italian nobleman and mathematician. Many of the texts printed here appear for the first time. Fagnano's advances in algebra and geometry were very far-reaching and his work on the rectification of the lemniscate made him according to Legendre the true founder of the theory of elliptic functions. This breakthrough was of great importance and was employed in the recent proof of Fermat's last theorem. "In algebra Fagnano suggested new methods for the solution of equations of the second third and fourth degrees. He also organized in a rational manner the knowledge that scientists had of imaginary numbers establishing for them a special algorithm that was far better than BombeIli's primitive one. "In geometry Fagnano formulated a general theory of geometric proportions that is more noteworthy than the countless writings published previously that were intended to illustrate book V of Euclid's Elements. Much more important however is his work on the triangle for which he may well be considered the founder of the geometry of the triangle. "'The most important results achieved by Fagnano however were in analytical geometry and in integral calculus."-D.S.B. IV pp. 515-16. "In his study of the rectification of the lemniscate Fagnano introduced ingenious analytic transformations that laid the foundation for the theory of elliptic integrals and his work was to lead to elliptic functions. Fagnano collected many of his published works and a few unpublished ones and produced the two volume treatise Produzioni matematiche in 1750. In 1751 Euler was asked to examine Produzioni matematiche and he found in this treatise relations between special types of elliptic integrals that express the length of an arc of a lemniscate which were quite unexpected to him. Generalising Fagnano's results Euler went on to create a general theory of these integrals in particular giving the famous addition formula for elliptic integrals. Fagnano had proved the duplication formula a particular case of the addition formula for the integrals. "In fact Fagnano had proved remarkable properties of the lemniscate including the fact that its arcs may be divided in equal parts using a ruler and compass construction. "Fagnano made many other major contributions but his mathematical work was not without controversy. He was involved in priority disputes with Nicolaus I Bernoulli and not surprisingly the big dispute of the day which was between the supporters of Newton and those of Leibniz."-The MacTutor History of Mathematics Archive on-line. hardcover books

1895389441895. EHON - FAIRY TALES BARBATOU P. CHOIX DE FABLES DE LA FONTAINE. 2 volumes in 1. Tokio: MDCCCXCIV. Imprimerie de Tsoukidji-Tokio. Printer: Kimura Tokutarô; First Series printed September 20th published September 30th; Second Series printed October 10th published October 20th Meiji 27 1894. Large format plain paper book bound with the original covers into a contemporary Western style half leather binding. The first volume is 20 X 30 cm with 14 double page color woodcuts by Kano Tomonobu Kajita Hanko Kawanabe Kyôsui and Okakura Shôsô called for. The "deuxieme serie" is similarly bound 20 x 30 cm with 14 prints by the four previously listed artists along with Eda Sadashiko. This work with its French text and literary origins may be placed in the mainstream of an emerging international style in Japan. Yet it may be still be seen as squarely in the tradition of the Japanese illustrated book. It shares many of the characteristics of the revival of Japanese picture book printing in general at the end of the 19th century: an emerging Nihonga style which was an amalgam of theme and technique from East and West skilled printing increasingly restrained coloration etc. An interesting document of East-West cultural and artistic accommodation which gave rise to such hybrid vigor in world art. The bound-in covers and contents are perfect. However the leather binding is worn and was rebacked at some point. The two volumes complete and bound as one. unknown books

Fukuro toji cord-bound in printed paper covers.

Covers soiled and a bit edgeworn one cvorner chipped. The contents are very good and the impressions and colors are quite lovely. This work despite its French text may be seen as squarely in the tradition of the Japanese ehon and it shares many characteristics of the revival of picture book printing in mid to late Meiji demonstrated by other works: an emerging Nihonga style skilled printed increasingly restrained coloration etc. In that context the large scale of its illustrations renders it particularly interesting. The first volume only of two. unknown books
