16932188Oxford: Oxford University Press 1693. First collected edition. Contemporary calf. Very Good. SCARCE FIRST EDITION OF THE COLLECTED WORKS of one of Newton's most important precursors John Wallis Savilian Professor 1649-1703 containing the first printed appearance of Newton's ideas on fluxions. A staunch promoter of English mathematicians Wallis repeatedly urged Newton to publish his theories before others laid claim to he work for the sake of "your Reputation & that of the nation" Gjertsen Newton Handbook 605. While Newton resisted for many years in 1693 Wallis published several letters from Newton in Vol. II of his Opera thereby introducing the concept of fluxional notation-pricked and dotted letters. In the preface to Vol. I 1695 Wallis refers briefly to Newton's claim to the discovery of Fluxions while Vol II 1693 has the first full account of Newton's invention of calculus. The third volume of Wallis's Opera contains previously unpublished correspondence between Newton and Leibniz the most important items of which are Newton's Epistola prior and Epistola posterior. "These two lengthy letters were sent to Leibniz in 1676 to acquaint him with the main lines of Newton's mathematical development. Epistola prior beginning with the binomial theorem went on to describe Newton's work on series. The second letter also contains much discussion on infinite series. It is best known however for Newton's reference to powerful and general methods he had developed for the drawing of tangents the determination of maxima and minima and the quadrature of curves. These he added he preferred to conceal within a quite insoluble anagram. A second and even longer anagram concealed Newton's claim to be able to solve fluxional equations. The solutions to both were publicly disclosed by Wallis 1699" ibid 189. Vol. 2 of the Opera also contains pp. 669-78 De Postulato Quinto; et Definitione Quinta; Lib. 6. Euclidis; disputatio geometrica Wallis's important attempt to prove the parallel postulate of Euclid also published here for the first time. "John Wallis gave a lecture on this topic. on the evening of 11 July 1663. He had been inspired by Nasr-Eddin's attempt on it which he referred to in his lecture to examine the question himself and his analysis is remarkable both for its originality and its caution. Indeed his view of the matter was to be much more profound than many a later writer's" Fauvel & Gray The History of Mathematics 510. This magnificent and comprehensive edition of Wallis's collected works was financed by and printed at Oxford University. In addition to several 'firsts' including those described above these volumes contain reprints of virtually all of Wallis's great books including the Arithmetica infinitorum and Mechanica Vol. 1 an augmented Latin edition of the Treatise of Algebra Vol. II and bilingual editions of a number of ancient Greek texts including Ptolemy's Harmonics Aristarchus's On the magnitudes and distances of the sun and moon and Archimedes's Sand-reckoner Vol. III. In addition to numerous other mathematical works the four volumes include his most popular work Grammaticae lingua anglicanae his "Treatise of Speech which formed a useful theoretical foundation for his pioneering attempts to teach deaf-mutes how to speak" DSB as well as an important tract on cryptography in which he records the methods he developed while deciphering for Cromwell the coded messages of Charles I.

16661299Nurnberg 1666. Houzeau & Lancaster 3039; Zimmer 5089 1628 Strasbourg ed.; Poggendorff 1984. Warner The Sky Explored pp. 104-5. Extremely rare German edition a Latin edition was published the same year of Sturms enlargement of Habrechts famous treatise on the making of celestial and terrestrial globes published in 1628. The Habrecht family of clock and instrument makers were famous throughout Europe from the last quarter of the sixteenth century to the end of the seventeenth century. The authors father also called Isaac was responsible for making the monumental second Strasbourg clock which was one of the mechanical wonders of its time on the Continent. Isaac Habrecht 1589-1633 was a Strasbourg physician mathematician and maker of globes. He was much influenced by Blaeu and Hondius and his globes were highly regarded. J. C. Sturm was Habrechts student and a scientist of vision. He organized the first scientific academy in Germany the Collegium Curiosum sive Experimentale at Altdorf in 1672 and introduced the first course in experimental physics in a German university. In 1666 he undertook the task of augmenting Habrechts original text and adding a number of folding plates. The plates include two handsome polar projections of the world two polar stereographic celestial charts of the northern and southern constellations and ten folded engravings showing the various parts of his planiglobiums.The fourteen folded engravings superbly executed by Jacob von der Heyden were probably intended to be mounted and assembled to form several instruments each with a revolving plate measuring 27 cm in diameter and a movable pointer. Each was to be supported on an approximately 12-cm base. The work is one of the most beautiful instrument books published in the seventeenth century and certainly one of the rarest particularly with the full complement of plates. Despite being an obvious Americanum see pp. 205 228 231 and America pictured on one of the maps it is not in Sabin JCB Palmer and other standard bibliographies. Houzeau & Lancaster lists a 1650 edition that is clearly an error as Sturm would have been 15 years old at the time.OCLC lists Yale for the German and Chicago for the Latin editions. unknown

First Edition. <br /><br />An anonymous Dutch edition of Philosophia appeared in 1667 and new Latin editions in 1673 and 1674. Evidence for the staying power of the work and the controversies which surrounded it is found in <br /> the fact that it underwent a fourth edition long after Meyer's death in 1776. <br /><br />Rare Quarto edition which preceded the 12mo of the same year. <br /><br />La Peyrere is considered to be the father of Biblical criticism. He asserted in Praeadamitae that there were human beings before Adam. His approach to Biblical scholarship argued that the Bible was just the story of the Jewish people not all of humanity. His book and heretical views were quickly banned. La Peyrere was eventually arrested but offered a half-hearted renunciation of his views to escape punishment. La Peyrere went on to engage in polemics with Richard Simon famous defender of the Bible. A rare and important book in the Radical Enlightenment identified as one of the wicked books of the late 17th century. .the wicked sedition which commenced with La Peyreres Prae-Adamitae gained impetus with the utterly licentious dissipated dictionary of Koerbagh that shameless book the Philosophai S.

Cover in fair book in good condition. freely translated: Rabbi Moses Maimonides' volountary sacrifice: An approach to Abarbanel's introduction and commentary on Leviticus and Maimonides' Tractate on the consecrated calendar and the rational calendar change R. Moses Maimonides Rambam was a 12th century Jewish philosopher and halachic legal scholar. A highly controversial figure both during his lifetime and after his death but generally acknowledged as the preeminent Jewish thinker of the Middle Ages. He was born in Córdoba Spain but fled as a child from the Almohad persecution. He eventually settled in Egypt where he served as a rabbi physician and philosopher. His fourteen-volume Mishneh Torah his only work not in Arabic still carries canonical authority particularly within the Yemenite Jewish community as the codification of Talmudic law. His other work includes a commentary on the Mishnah entitled Kitab al-Siraj Kitab al-Fara'I a book on precepts and the philosophical work Dalalat al-Ha'irin known in Hebrew as the Moreh Nevukhim The Guide to the Perplexed. The major premise is an attempted philosophical/theological reconciliation of the Hebrew Bible and Greek knowledge. This work came to play a central role in all subsequent major controversies over philosophy within the Jewish community during the Middle Ages.
