175018749Paris 1750. 8vo. Jacques Rollin Contemporary mottled calf spine gilt in compartments with two red morocco labels lettered in gold blue marbled edges. With 136 engraved plates 9 folding 127 full-page numerous woodcut diagrams and printed tables in the text. 4 volumes. 16 460 20; 4 462 14; 2 482 12; 8 446 5 pp. Enlarged edition of a famous compendium of popular science complete with all 136 engraved plates. The work discusses a wide variety of subjects as it presents both serious scientific problems and experiments as well as descriptions of conjuring tricks fireworks and games. The problems and their solutions are arranged according to subject: arithmetical geometrical gnomonical optical mechanical pyrotechnical and physical. The optical problems were based on the author's own teachings of perspective and include working with mirrors anamorphosis and a camera obscura. All problems and experiments described are clearly and fully depicted on the numerous engraved plates.For his Recreations Jacques Ozanam 1640-1717 used everything known at the time in the field of popular science and made use of the works of Claude Gaspard Bachet de Mérizac Claude Mydorge Jean Leurechon and Daniel Schwenter. The added treatise on clocks which can be found in the third volume was based upon Domenico Martinelli's Horlogi elementari 1669 with popular observations by Ozanam added. However Ozanam not only recreated other scientist's experiments but also presented his own including a first idea of a movie made by quickly projecting magic lantern slides of the same figure in slightly different poses creating the illusion of a person walking. His work became very popular and was used at schools and at home to teach youth all aspects of mathematical sciences. The first edition was published in 1694; this is the final edition in the original form as the work was almost entirely rewritten by Jean-Étienne Montucla 1725-1799 shortly after. The present edition was significantly enlarged compared to the first edition with extra information and 52 additional plates.Ozanam came from a Jewish family that had converted to Catholicism. He taught mathematics in Lyon before going to Paris where his teaching brought him a substantial income. Ozanam cannot be regarded as a first-rate mathematician but he had a flair for writing and during his career he wrote a number of books some of which were very popular passing through many editions. His contributions consisted of popular treatises and reference works on 'useful and practical mathematics' and this extremely popular work on mathematical recreations which had by far the more lasting impact. Ozanam's Récréations may be regarded as the forerunner of modern books on mathematical recreations.With a paper shelfmark label mounted on the front pastedown of each volume "j3459/ 223". The edges and corners of the boards of all volumes are somewhat scuffed. Internally clean with only minor foxing on some of the leaves plates 19-21 in volume 1 are bound in the wrong order. Otherwise in very good condition.l Caillet 8242 mentions only 132 plates; Sotheran 12888; Poggendorff II col. 342; cf. DSB IX p. 263-265. hardcover

A French mathematician born at Bouligneux Ain 1640 Ozanam died in Paris in 1717. He came of a rich family which had converted from Judiasm to Catholicism.Though he began the study of theology to please his father he was more strongly attracted to mathematics which he mastered without the aid of a teacher. His mathematical publications were numerous and well received. Recreations translated later into English and well known today was published in 1694. He was elected member of the Academy of Sciences in 1701. See The Catholic Encyclopaedia.

A long chapter is dedicated to magic squares from pp. 36 on but many are the tricks described always in the form of a problem/solution which today are attributed to a kind of illusionism called <strong><em>mentalism</em></strong> a form of illusionism whose practitioners through techniques such as <em>cold reading</em> or <em>hot reading</em> give the illusion of being able to read others 'minds demonstrating supernatural or at least highly developed mental and intuitive ability.</p><p>In their performances mentalists give the impression of being able to exercise telepathy clairvoyance divination precognition psychokinesis mediumship mind control hypnosis prodigious memory and rapid mental calculation.</p><p>Among the games described in the text that can be accounted under this category we remember for example:</p><p>Problem XII: Thrown two dice how to guess the values on the top two sides without looking at them.</p><p>Problem XIV: Guessing a number that someone has chosen by asking him questions</p><p>Problem XVI: Guessing a number someone has chosen without asking them questions</p><p>problem XX: Guess how many coins a spectator hides in his hands</p><p>Problem XXVIII: Given three known playing cards and three spectators guess which card each one has chosen.</p><p>problem XXXI: Among different cards arranged on three decks how to guess which one the spectator has chosen</p><p>and many others.</p><p>Jacques Ozanam 1640 - 1718 was a French mathematician.</p><p>Although his father pushed him toward an ecclesiastical career he was much more attracted by science and mathematics that continued to study as a self-taught. At the age of 15 he was able to write a treatise on mathematics but his father induced him to enroll in courses in theology despite his little inclination for the priestly life. After four years of theological studies his father died and he returned to scientific studies.</p><p>In 1670 he published trigonometric and logarithmic tables more accurate than the existing Ulacq Pitiscus and Briggs works and numerous and well received mathematical publications.</p><p>In particular he had great success with <em>Dictionnaire mathématique</em> the five volumes of the <em>Cours de mathématiques</em> and <em>Récréations mathématiques et physiques </em>; his manuscript entitled <em>Les six livres de l'Arithmétique de Diophante augmentés et reduits à la spécieuse</em> received commendations from Leibnitz himself.</p><p><em>Récréations mathématiques et physiques</em> was also successful in the English translation and is still well known and looked after today.</p><p>He was elected a member of the <em>Académie Royale des Sciences</em> now <em>Académie des Sciences </em>in 1701.
