Leibniz: pp. 201-205. Johann Bernoulli: pp. 206-211. Jacob Bernoulli: pp. 211-214. Newton: pp. 223-224. As usual some leaves with browning. First appearance of the famous issue of Acta Eruditorum in which the 4 solutions by the 4 most eminent mathematicians at the time were printed together. There were in all 5 solutions to the posed problem and Newton's solution was first printed in the Philosophical Transactions January 1697 and reprinted here. The solution proposed by L'Hopital not printed here was not published until 1988.The brachistochrone problem was posed by Johann Bernoulli in Acta Eruditorum in June 1696. He introduced the problem as follows: "I Johann Bernoulli address the most brilliant mathematicians in the world. Nothing is more attractive to intelligent people than an honest challenging problem whose possible solution will bestow fame and remain as a lasting monument. Following the example set by Pascal Fermat etc. I hope to gain the gratitude of the whole scientific community by placing before the finest mathematicians of our time a problem which will test their methods and the strength of their intellect. If someone communicates to me the solution of the proposed problem I shall publicly declare him worthy of praise." Johann Bernoulli and Leibniz deliberately tempted Newton with this problem. It is not surprising given the dispute over the calculus that Johann Bernoulli had included these words in his challenge:- ."there are fewer who are likely to solve our excellent problems aye fewer even among the very mathematicians who boast that they. have wonderfully extended its bounds by means of the golden theorems which they thought were known to no one but which in fact had long previously been published by others."According to Newton's biographer Conduitt he solved the problem in an evening after returning home from the Royal Mint. Newton: . "in the midst of the hurry of the great recoinage did not come home till four in the afternoon from the Tower very much tired but did not sleep till he had solved it which was by four in the morning."Newton send his solution to his friend Charles Montague and Montague published anonymously in the Transactions. Newton's solution presented here in the Acta is also anonymous. The episode did not please Newton as he later wrote: "I do not love to be dunned pestered and teased by foreigners about mathematical things ." After the competition Johann Bernoulli said ". my elder brother made up the fourth of these after Leibniz himself and Newton that the three great nations Germany England and France each one of their own to unite with myself in such a beautiful search all finding the same truth."Struik Edt.

All papers first appearance dealing with and clarifying the problems and the new applications of Leibniz' inventions of the differential- and integral calculus.In the papers Leibniz shows how to reduce linear first order ordinary differential equations to quadratures. I the other paper he gives a general method of finding the envelope of a family of curves which helped to spread the theory of plane curves.In the groundbreaking paper offered here Jakob Bernoulli introduces THE LEMNISCATE a symmetric self-intersecting curve resembling a figure eight and defined by the condition that the product of the distance of anay point on the curve from two fixed points is d/22 where d is the distance between the fixed points."Jacob Bernoulli was fascinated by curves and the calculus and one curve bears his name - the "lemniscate of Bernoulli" given by the polar equation r2=a cos 2"0". The curve was described in the Acta Eruditorum of 1694 as resembling a figure eight or a knotted ribbon lemniscus. However the curve that most caught his fancy was the logarithmic spiral.he swowed that it had several strioking properties not noted before.it is easy to appreciate the feeling that led Bernoulli to request that the "spira mirabils" be engraved on his tombstone together with the inscription "Eadem mutata resurgo" Though changed I arise again the same."

First edition of an antiquarian classic by John Selden 1584-1654 eminent jurist polymath prolific scholar and in recent times celebrated for his ownership of the earliest surviving Chinese merchant map of East Asia re-discovered with justifiable fanfare as a treasure of the Bodleian Library by Robert Batchelor in 2008. At the time of its release Selden's "The History of Tithes": "gave great offense to the clergy and was vigorously refuted in a number of volumes to which Selden was forbidden the right to print replies" Pforzheimer. It has been noted that the absence of the printer's name and the place of publication showed that Selden anticipated an unfavourable reaction to his denial of divine right of tithes. He was not disappointed. The work was suppressed and Selden was forced to apologize for having given offense-- and the book was withdrawn from circulation. His work was much studied: this copy with early marginalia: "by this Historie the Right of tithing belong not to ye profession of ye Canonist Civilian or Divine but with Lawyers." the last three words hastily crossed out. Early owners include London Antiquary Thomas Bryan Richards whose extensive Library was sold by King & Lochée in 1812. . [No pubisher, hardcover

Nederduytsche Poëmata van Adrianus Hofferus Zirizaeus .

1635JC14671Amsterdam: Broer Jansz 1635. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. 4to 218 x 162 mm. Pagination: 38 1-400 pp. Signatures: -4; A-Z4; Aa-Zz4; Aaa-Ddd4. Engraved pictorial title of Heraclitus and Democritus and 2 illustrations and 19 circular emblematic engravings partly by Crispijn van de Passe the Younger. Contemporary stamped vellum with central arabesque ornament; some light browning some margins sliced in final quire but present few corners chipped. Rear pastedown with inscription from the library of Van Isaac le Long and dated 1744. Modern armorial bookplate of Bibliotheque I.G. Schorsch on the front pastedown. Dawsons Bookshop label also affixed on rear pastedown. First edition and scarce variant copy of this classic Dutch poetry and emblem work by Zierikzee native Adriaan Hoffer which Benesch described as .adorned with etchings which in themselves are perfect little works of art although only slightly connected with the text Benesch Rubens to Daumier p. 39. Hoffers work contains poems comprising the authors self-commentary Biblical quotes and notably mentioned the victory of the Spanish silverfleet by Pieter Heyn in 1628 all in verse. Largely written in the vernacular Hoffer supplemented Latin notes to his poetry through ample marginal references. Hoffer was a wealthy man and book collector with many connections in the Zierikzee community. The Nederduytsche Poëmata was his most important work which sought to restrict the interest of natural inquiry to its edifying potential. This edition is notable for its engravings by Crispijn van de Passe the Younger a talented engraver who inherited his fathers style and repertoire and who remains inextricably linked to seventeenth-century Dutch printmaking. Not much else is known about the influence of Hoffers Nederduytsche Poëmata or Dutch Poems but an earlier work of the same title was written by Daniel Heinsius 1580-1655 and published in Amsterdam by Willem Jansson in 1618.

Folio in fours: asterisk in parens6 A-8N4 8O6 = 708 leaves; 12pp. 2680 columns 1391-1392 omitted; 1997-1998 repeated 64 = index and emendandapp. Engraved portrait; extra engraved title page. Woodcut printer's device at letterpress title; woodcut head- and tail-pieces initials; letterpress ornamentation. Contemporary tawed pigskin over wooden boards elaborately tooled in blind with central cartouches at both covers portrait of August I at front; Electors of Saxony arms at back spine with raised bands. Pair of mounted leather straps and brass catches intact along with a single brass clasp second clasp replaced with a simple modern brass replica. Edges stained green. Two old cellotape repairs along top edge verso of the portrait not affecting image. Bottom outer corner section 2 in. by 4 in. of the main title margin excised and expertly replaced. Faintly toned text crisp and fine throughout. A very attractive copy in a handsome armorial binding complete with both the author's portrait and the engraved title. First edition of this lexicon of Aramaic and post-biblical Hebrew comprising the vocabulary of the Aramaic paraphrases targum of the Old Testament the Jerusalem and Babylonian Talmuds as well as later midrashic and and rabbinic literature all copiously illustrated with extracts and examples. This present issue is dated M.DC.XXXIX. 1639 at the engraved title and M.DC. XXXX. 1640 at the main title the latter likely in error according to Prijs. The numeral "2" in the 1629 date of death on the portrait is reversed in some copies it has been erroneously replaced with a "3". The dedication Basel February 1639 is addressed to the Ordines of Groningen and Holland in recognition of the establishment in 1614 of the University of Groningen. Two faculty members Franciscus Gomarus and Heinrich Alting had specifically requested that Buxtorf publish a dictionary for use in the study of Jewish rabbinic literature. Prijs Begun in 1610 the work would occupy the elder Buxtorf for the next twenty years in the midst of his copious academic schedule and other scholarly projects. "By 1617 he had reached the letter Ayin. Between 1617 and 1619 he worked on the rabbinical Bible and probably had no time to devote to the lexicon. Finally in 1628 he completed the first draft. His manuscript work was in no shape to be published however" Burnett. "In the course of the work the material grew more and more so that after completing the whole thing up to the letter Tav he had to set about bringing the earlier letters up to date by using other sources" Prijs. Buxtorf died in 1629 before completing the revisions of the letter Bet. His son Johann would complete the revisions and finally publish the lexicon after ten more years of labor. While the younger Buxtorf states in the preface "maneat parenti gloria authoris" may the glory of the Author remain with the Parent "in his hands it became almost a new work" Smitskamp. Burnett notes that "Buxtorf's fame as a lexicographer. was not a result of his work in biblical Hebrew but in post-biblical Hebrew and talmudic Aramaic." Two centuries later bibliographers and scholars were still singing the praises of the Lexicon Chaldaicum: "All the Chaldaic Talmudical and Rabbincal words which occur in the paraphrases of the Old Testament in the Babylonish and Jerusalem Targums in the common or more private writings of the Hebrew commentarors philosophers theologians cabbalists and lawyers are fully explained. Numerous extracts and examples are given; proverbs apophthegms opinions rites and other things relating to sacred philology and antiquities are illustrated. All subsequent writers have been greatly indebted to this Lexicon of Buxtorf.â€ Orme. "The World is more beholden to him for his learned and judicious Labours than to any other that lived in his time and his name ought ever to be preserved with Honour in Acknowledgment of itâ€ Prideaux. Provenance and annotations: Binding embossed at the front cover with the portrait of Augustus I 1526-1586 Elector of Saxony; the Elector's arms appear at the rear cover.
