As New. 1st ed ; Di 1 ban 1 ; 26 volumes AS NEW ; A collection of 9 of the 15 novels from the Collected Works edition of Jin Yong's world-famous martial arts fiction all of which have been used as the bases of films many times over ; includes Sword Stained with Royal Blood 1956 Bi xue jian The Return of the Eagle Heroes 1959 Shen diao xia lu Flying Fox of Snowy Mountain 1959 Xue shan fei hu The Young Flying Fox 1960 Fei hu wai zhuan Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre 1961 Yi tian tu long ji Requiem of Ling Sing 1963 Lian cheng jue Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils 1963 Tian long ba bu Way of the Heroes 1965 Xia ke xing Deer and the Cauldron Duke of Mount Deer 1969 Lu ding ji ; Jin Yong was born in Hangzhou a native of Haining Zhejiang province. He was admitted to the Faculty of Foreign Languages of Chunking Central University and then transferred to the Faculty of Law of Dongwu University majoring in International Law. He was an English translator at Ta Kung Pao newspaper and subsequently moved to Hong Kong with the newspaper and worked as a copy editor at Ta Kung Pao and Hsin Wan Pao newspapers. At this time he also took on the job as scenarist-director at the Great Wall Movie Enterprises Ltd. and Phoenix Film Company in the late 1950s focusing on play writing and in 1955 he began to write swordplay fiction. In the meantime he started the Ming Pao Daily News with Shen Baoxin in 1959 acting as its director. Since 1966 he has expanded his publishing network considerably. The immense popularity of his martial-arts novels continues unabated having sold more than 1 billion copies making him the most popular living Chinese author. He has more than redefined the genre. Critic Simon Elegant has compared the power of the novels to a Chinese Three Musketeers a Patrick O'Brian naval series and George MacDonald's Flashman combined. ; "Kung fu together with Chinese medicine calligraphy painting playing Go and strumming the seven-stringed zither constitute the core of the Chinese cultural essence. All these elements appear in the novels and their placement firmly in the myth-shrouded past combine to produce a kind of 'cultural euphoria' in Chinese readers that cannot be found anywhere else in modern Chinese literature."--John Minford. ; in multicolored pictorial dustjackets with classic watercolor scenes color-coded by novel and stiff paper wrappers ; text in Chinese with many illustrations; Paginations: Bi xue jian 2 v. 4 828 p. : ill. ; 21 cm.; Series: Jin Yong zuo pin ji ; 3-4 ISBN: 7108006677; 9787108006677 ; LCCN:2007-556539 ; OCLC: 32447936 -- Shen diao xia lu 4 v. 4 1564 p. : ill. ; 21 cm. ; Series: Jin Yong zuo pin ji ; 9-12 ISBN: 7108006669 set; 9787108006660 set ; LCCN: 2007-556538 ; OCLC: 32447953 -- Xue shan fei hu 4 394 p. : ill. ; 21 cm. ; Series: Jin Yong zuo pin ji ; 13 ; ISBN: 7108006642; 9787108006646 ; LCCN:2007-558748 ; OCLC: 32752984 -- Fei hu wai zhuan 2 v. 4 726 p. : ill. ; 21 cm. ; Series: Jin Yong zuo pin ji ; 14-15 ISBN: 7108006650; 9787108006653 ; LCCN:2007-558749 ; OCLC: 32752899 -- Yi tian tu long ji 4 v. 4 1594 p. : ill. ; 21 cm.

1566B6630Bononiae /Bologna: Alexandri or Alexander or Alessandro Benatii or Benatius or Benacci publisher c. 1566. . Edition: First Commandino edition. Binding: 17th century mottled calf; spine raised with six 6 bands compartments gilt gilt lettered title on two; all edges speckled red. Notes: First edition by Commandino. David Clement judges this edition of the first four books bound with the two books of Sereni on cones and cylinders to be extremely rare. Also footnote 32 states: in Bibliotheca Uilenbroukiana P.I. p. 55. Catal. duarum Bibliothecaruin Dom. N. B. & D. L. Hagae - Com. ap. Beauregard 1747. in 8vo. p. 9 Vogt Libror. rarior. p. 40. describes this Commandin edition surpassing that of Jean-Baptiste Memmius which was printed in Venice in 1537. It quotes Fabricius’ statement in the Bibliotheca Graeca about Memmius or Memus not having understood the subject at hand translated from a basically wanting manuscript with manifold thereby rendering his version weak. It also mentions that this didn’t mean Commandin’s was fault-free remaring the Greek manuscript he had drawn on was filled with failts. <br>Concerning Apollonius’s work Koudela states†Interest in ancient Greek knowledge increased gradually in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries especially in Italy the leading country of Europe's culture and science of the time. Latin translations of Greek works on conic sections and other curves - Apollonius and Pappus in particular - appeared in several editions. Although some original works were also published in the sixteenth century no significant progress in the study of conic sections had been made until the work of Kepler. His contribution influenced the further development of projective geometry and can be regarded as the transition from ancient to modern geometry. The spread of Greek knowledge in the Renaissance The invention of conic sections is attributed to Menaechmus 4th cent. BC a member of Plato's Academy at Athens. Various species of conic sections were obtained by truncating an acute-angled right-angled and obtuse-angled cone by a plane perpendicular to the generator of the cone. Conic sections were also investigated by Aristaeus the Elder 4th cent. BC and by Euclid c. 325 - c. 265 BC. Their works on this subject are now lost. The works of Archimedes 287 - 212 BC contain some important results concerning the properties of conic sections especially parabolas. The greatest ancient writer on conic sections was Apollonius of Perga c. 262 - c. 190 BC. His famous work Conics consisted of eight books and contained 487 propositions. Apollonius introduced the terms ellipse parabola and hyperbola and showed that various sections of the cone can be obtained by varying the inclination of the intersecting plane. Among other ancient authors dealing with conic sections we should mention Pappus of Alexandria c. 290 - c. 350 AD the last of great Greek geometers. His main work known as Collection is valuable - among other things - because it provides an account and comments on the results obtained by his predecessors. Pappus introduced the notion of the focus and the directrix of a hyperbola Kline 1990 p. 128 .<br> <br>Apollonius’ work influenced the greatest scholars of the modern era such as Descartes and Newton. The Latin translation of the first four books of Apollonius by Gianbattista Memo appeared in Venice in 1537. The present edition of Apollonius’ Conics of the sixteenth century is based on the translation and important new edits by Federico Commandino 1506-1575 who published “classical Greek mathematical texts under the auspices of the Duke of Urbino.†Horblit: “The most influential early edition of this highly important text entirely superceding Memmo’s version of 1537â€. <br>Other sources state that in total the Conics consist of 387 not 487 propositions published in seven books with the eighth book remaining unconfirmed. <br> <br>References: Adams A-1310; Brunet I 347; David Clement Bibliothèque curieuse historique et critique: A-Aqvino 1750 p.415/6; Dibner 101; Honeyman 118; Horblit 4; Koudela L.: Curves in the History of Mathematics: The Late Renaissance 2005; Norman 57; Riccardi I/1 361 51; Commandino; Sotheran I 124.<br>Work II: Conicorum lib.

A Latin translation of Conicorum’s first four books appeared in Venice in 1537 and it was not until 1661 for the present work - Conicorum’s books V to VII - to be published; the present work constitutes the most innovative or original part of the work of Apollonius. Translated from the Arabic manuscript of Abu'l Fath of Isphahan c. 1190 - c. 1245 purchased by the Medici’s during the first half of the 17th century the text of had survived only in the Arabic language. Norman states: “This was a valuable addition to the mathematical knowledge of the time for whereas Books I-IV of the Conics dealt with information already known to Apollonius’s predecessors Books V-VII were largely original. Book V discusses normals to conics and contains Apollonius’s proof for the construction of the evolute curve; Book VI treats congruent and similar conics and segments of conics; Book VII is concerned with propositions about inequalities between various functions of conjugate diametersâ€. Cajori states: “The fifth book reveals better than any other the giant intellect of its author. Difficult questions of maxima and minima of which few examples are found in earlier works are here treated most exhaustively. The subject investigated is to find the longest and shortest lines that can be drawn from a given point to a conic. Here are also found the germs of the subject of evolutes and centres of osculation.†<br>Cajori A history of mathematics 40; Brunet I: 347; D.B.I.
