167712861Amsterdam: Printed by Jacob and Casparus Loots-man Bookseller upon the Water in the Loots-man 1677. Folio 440 by 280mm engraved title 20 engraved charts numerous woodcut charts and coastal profiles within text seventeenth century speckled calf to style spine in seven compartments separated by raised bands gilt. The Lootsman family a surname adopted by the founder of the firm Anthonie or Theunis Jacobsz are one of the less well-known firms of chart makers and publishers working in Amsterdam specialising in pilot books of European coastal waters but who also published a sea atlas of the world. Their output of charts and chart-books deserves to be better known as much of their work was original rather than the slavish copies some of their better-known rivals produced. Dutch chart publishers dominated the European market and by preparing editions in vernacular languages they were able to achieve wide distribution of their output. Most of the Dutch publishers produced English editions of their atlases and pilots and such was the dominance achieved that the Dutch were effectively able to stifle English competitors such as Joseph Moxon and John Seller. But it was the Lootsmans' misfortune to be overshadowed by the larger established firms or newcomers such as van Keulen and their productions often achieved only limited distribution. For example almost all the English editions published by the Lootsmans are located by Koeman in but a single example. It is interesting to compare Seller's early output with this volume and others like it to see the problems that early English publishers faced breaking the Dutch monopoly. This rare work is the first edition preceding the editions cited by Koeman with the title bearing the joint imprint of the brothers Jacob and Caspar Lootsman; whereas Koeman's earliest edition from 1678 bears the sole imprint of Caspar Lootsman. c.f.

Leibniz' 2 papers on the catenary curve paper 1-2 offered here was written at the instigation of Jacques Bernoulli. Following the example of Blaise Pascal who had initiated in 1658 a contest for the construction of the cycloid Leibniz also provoked the geometers of his time by challenging them to submit at the fixed date of mid-1691 their geometric method for the construction of the catenary curve. Leibniz later provided the answer followed by Johann Bernoulli and Huygens.'These two papers are a historical account of the origin of the study of this transcendental curve and at the same time the first physical-geometric construction showing the species-relationship between the catenary and the logarithmic curves as two companion curves; one arithmetic the other geometric. All of the differentials of the catenary curve are arithmetic means of corresponding differentials of the logarithmic curve; and all of the differentials of the logarithmic curve are geometric means of the catenary.'"The Catenary is the form of a hanging fully flexible rope or chain the name comes from "catena" which means 'chain' suspended on two points. The interest in this curve originated with Galileo who thought that is was a parabola. Young Christiaan Huygens proved in 1646 that this cannot be the case. What the actual form was remained an open question till 1691 when Leibniz Johann Bernoulli and the then much older Huygens sent solutions to the problem to the "Acta" Jakob Bernoulli 1690 Johann Bernoulli 1691 Huygens 1691 and Leibniz 1691 - these 4 1691-papers offered here - in which the previous year Jakob Bernoulli had challenged mathematicians to solve it. As published the solutions did not reveal the methods but through later publications of manuscripts these methods have been known. Huygens applied with great paper 4 virtuosity the by then classical methods of 17th century infinitesimal mathematics and he needed all his ingenuity to reach a satisfactory solution. Leibniz the papers 1-2 and Bernoulli paper 3 applying the new Calculus found the solutions in a much direct way. In fact the catenary was a test-case between the old and the new style in the study of curves and only because the champion of the old style was a giant like Huygens the test-case can formally be considered as ending in a draw." Grattan-Guiness in "From the Calculus to Set Theory 1630-1910.".The paper by JACOB BERNOULLI no. 5 offered here is a milestone papers as it marks the invention of the "SYSTEM OF POLAR COORDINATES" with points located by reference to a fixed point and a line through that point. Although newton had earlier also devised such a coordinate system in 1671 his work was not known so that the credit for the discovery generally goes to Bernoulli.

As usual some leaves with browning. <br/><br/><em>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.

In "Notatiuncula Constructiones Lineae" Bernoulli proposed a solution to non linear equations which today is one of the most common used solutions of the general fluid. Bernoulli equations are significant because they are nonlinear differential equations with known exact solutions. In the "Specimen dynamicum" Leibniz presents a conception of body and force which distinct between primitive and derivative forces and between active and passive forces. This article is regarded as being the clearest exposition of Leibniz' dynamics. DSB VII 151b."The first attempt at a detailed account of the dynamics was a long dialogue the "Phoranomus seu de potentia et legibus naturae" written in July 1689 while Leibniz was in Rome. This was quickly followed be the composition of the massive Dynamica de potential et legibus naturae corporeae 1689-90 . Though it was written with the intention of publication and though Leibniz work at publishing it he never considered it entirely finished and it remained unpublished during his lifetime.The later . he finally revealed some of the metaphysical foundations of the project in an essay the present paper." Garber Daniel. Leibniz: body substance monad. 2009. 132 p."Its title suggests a summary of or a selection from the earlier work . However it actually contains something in a way rather more interesting: a careful exposition of the metaphysical foundations of the new science something that is hard to find in the old Dynamica or any of the more Technical pieces."

Jean Jacques Manget 1652-1742 practised in Geneva with great success. In 1699 the Elector of Brandenburg made him his first physician. His literary work in which he was assisted by Daniel Le Clerc 1652-1728 chiefly consisted of collecting and reprinting in large volumes important treatises on medicine anatomy and chemistry. Le Clerc is sometimes called the "Father of the History of Medicine" because he wrote the first large history of medicine. That valuable and still consulted work was first published in 1696.

The Paradisus Animae which has gone through many editions in the original Latin since this 1644 first edition was long a favorite prayer book among Catholics. Several English translations appeared one as early as 1670 as 'Paradise of the Christian Soul.' It was translated into French by Nicolaus Fontane under the title 'Heures Chretiennes Tirnes de l'Ecriture et des Saints Peres.' In addition Horstius authored 'Septem Tubae Orbis Christiani' a compilation from the writings of the fathers intended for young Roman Catholic priests. He also edited a commentary of Estius on the Pauline Letters; the works of St. Bernard in two volumes and the works of Thomas a Kempis with Horstius' commentary. Sumpt.
