In the papers he used infinitisimal methods which were very close to Leibniz's method and where he tried to lay down criteria for rational quadratures in the case of conic cubic and quadratic curves papers that led Leibniz to publish his first paper on the differential calculus the "Nova Methoda" in the Acta for 1684 in order to secure his priority over Tschirnhaus concerning the calculus. Leibniz discovered when he read Tschirnhaus' papers that Tschirnhaus had here published results showing similarity with Leibniz's invention of the calculus as he had confided to Tschirnhaus earlier during their Parisian stay and this without references to Leibniz.The present volume of Acta also contain the first edition of Tschirnhaus' "Tschirnhaus Tranformation". Tschirnhaus work intensively on finding a general method for solving equations of higher of higher degree.

1640008360LVGD. Batavorum Leiden Netherlands: Ex Officina Elseviriorum Elzevir 1640. First Elzevir edition. Full leather. This diminutive volume is noteworthy for condition binding publication and provenance. This is the 1640 first Elzevir edition of Pliny with noteworthy 17th century provenance owned by Gilbert Burnet Bishop of Salisbury and historian and featuring notably clean contents in a lovely venerable binding. <br /> <br />The duodecimo volume measures 5.25 x 3 inches bound in attractive late 17th or early 18th century maroon Morocco covers paneled in gilt with French fillets forming an outer border and an inner frame the latter with floral vase cornerpieces raised bands spine once elaborately gilt in compartments featuring scrolling cornerpieces and lozenge centerpiece most of the gilt now eroded all edges gilt. Woodcut printers device on the title page woodcut headpieces initials and tailpiece. The verso of title page features the armorial bookplate of Gilbert Burnet Lord Bishop of Salisbury Chancellor of the most Noble Order of the Garter. First blank with the ink monogram of Edwin Wolf II 1911-1991 a librarian bibliophile author historian Franklin scholar and a civic leader in Philadelphia. Several leaves at rear with older ink marks in margins. <br /> <br />Condition approaches very good the joints a bit flaked with small cracks beginning at top and bottom spine evenly darkened fore margin of a few gatherings with faint browning other minor defects but nonetheless a sound and attractive copy the text notably bright and clean. <br /> <br />The publisher Elzevir was the name of a family of Dutch booksellers printers and publishers 15 members of which were in business between 1587 and 1681. Their duodecimo series of Elzevirs of which this is a lovely example became famous and desirable. After having enjoyed an almost legendary reputation among bibliophiles for excellence of typography and design the Elzevirs work is now regarded only as typical of the high quality that prevailed in their day in Holland. Among their four chief typographical devices the solitary consisting of an elm tree a fruitful vine and a man alone with a motto Non solus Not alone is perhaps the best known. This is the device that adorns the title page of this volume. <br /> <br />Offered four bishoprics while still in his twenties Gilbert Burnet 1643-1715 was not only the most celebrated clergyman of his time but also a person intimately involved with prominent figures during one of the most intriguing periods of British politics. Burnet is perhaps best known as a historian because of two remarkably popular and influential works - his account of the Reformation in England and his famous History of His Own Time both of which are still consulted. Born in Scotland where he held his first appointment as a minister of the Anglican church Burnet offended Charles II by his desire for greater tolerance of the Scotch Presbyterians and his opposition to Catholicism later proved so offensive to James II that Burnet retreated to Holland where this volume was published. There Burnet established warm relations with Princess Mary Jamess daughter who was eventually established on the throne of England with her husband William by the Glorious Revolution for which Burnet wrote a defense. In 1689 through Marys patronage he became bishop of Salisbury. Books from Burnets library are rarely on offer. <br /> <br />References: ODNB; LOC; The Library Company of Philadelphia; Brittanica. <br/><br/> Ex Officina Elseviriorum (Elzevir) hardcover

Full page engraved frontispiece depicting a worshipper at the foot of the cross laden with Passion instruments crown of thorns sponge on reed withes ladder spear pillar with caption Les souffrances & la mort Dun DIEV pour nous Nôtre Continuelle. Meditation. The suffering and death of God for us is our continual meditation. Woodcut device of heraldic shield and cardinals hat with tassels on title. Woodcut chapter head vignettes and tailpieces one repeating of Evangelist John on isle of Patmos and another of Veronicas veil and woodcut historiated initials mostly birds throughout. Dedicated to LÂme Chrétienne. The Christian Soul. Italic and Roman type. Contemporary speckled calf spine gilt in compartments; joints splitting light edgewear; margins trimmed close affecting few engravings. Front pastedown with book label of Justin Godart 1871-1956 a French politician and bibliophile of Lyon. Godarts personal library stamp is also on title with the Lyonnais lion. Internet records show that the library of Justin Godart was sold at auction in Paris by Hôtel Drouot in 1957. Importantly this book remained part of the local fabric of the French city from its publication to over 275 years. Stated seventh edition of this devotional text on the Passion of Christ printed by a public brotherhood of Catholics although no other editions located. It is a highly uncommon pocket prayer book with little traceable history save the fact that this same 1679 edition appeared in an auction by Techener in 1861. Another Meditations publication by the same society appears 39 years later as the Nouvelle édition Chez Barthelemy Martin 1718 now held in the Public Library of Lyon. This elusive and largely anonymous French Catholic confraternity probably a local chapter of Lyon likely had various periods of flourishing and disbands or did not make large print-runs of their books possibly explaining the scarcity. <br/><br/>The aim of this brotherhoods untitled publication was to disseminate widely the prayers and reflections to be offered daily first day of the month second day etc. for the suffering of Christ. By publishing a text like this the brothers would in effect be gathering lower orders to participate in penitential exercises which is in itself an act of devotion and which would win them indulgences. In total there are 41 copperplate engravings attributed to François Houat who came from a family of printers and engravers in Northern France. These engravings are exceptional for their dramatic shadows and perspectives. As well the Guillimin publishers were known for their Catholic devotional imprints. For 31 days a full-page copperplate engraved scene of Christs Passion with captions precedes each daily reflection. The daily meditations build up chronologically ending with Christs death on the cross. Full-page engravings are also for Litany of the Passion Litany to the Infant Christ Nativity Lent repeating frontispiece Resurrection Ascension Pentecost the Blessed Sacrament and the emblemata of the brotherhood skull instruments of Passion candle and hourglass. French penitent confraternities survived during the early modern centuries as they underwent several transformations which made them more reflective of French as opposed to Italian devotional sensibilities. They enjoyed prestige and spiritual currency in Catholic society right up the Revolution. Chez Pierre Guillimin hardcover books
164921035Antwerp : Unknown 1649. Framed. Very Good. Based on a Teniers painting this is the original 1649 etching by Wenceslaus Hollar. One could suspect slight trimming of the margin but we will note that our measurements are the same as those of the Metropolitan Museum's copy. The print is floating on the backing and thus the entirety of the print revealed and attractively surrounded by tasteful matting and an appropriate complimentary gilt frame. Publisher unknown although it is quite possible Hollar was his own publisher. We think it likeliest that the print was done in Antwerp where the Flemish-born Hollar retreated in in 1646 from England because of the turmoil caused by the English Civil War. The print is 25 by 34.5 cm. With frame and matting 40 by 50 cm. We believe that the original etching meaning one printed in 1649 is quite scarce. Besides the Metropolitan Museum the only other copy of which we are aware is in the Royal Collection. The very narrow margin of the print has dusty soiling. There is a conspicuous closed tear running down the top center about 3 cm into the picture but luckily a less important area of the illustration. The tear is repaired or so we believe but it is undeniably visible. The gilded frame and matting are very attractive. Unknown unknown

This work is often attributed to Carlo Carafa an incompetent and criminal administrator who was executed for treason at Castel San Angelo on Mar 4 1561 by Pius IV. but it is certainly by a later Carlo Carafa born in Naples in 1611 who was bishop of Aversa and Papal Nuncio to Switzerland the Republic of Venice and to the Holy Roman Emperor.
