15782206Antwerp: Plantin 1578. Hardcover. Very Good. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. 4to. 23 x 16.5 cm 4 ff. 417 1 pp. 1 f. Bound in contemporary vellum over flexible boards head slightly chipped; early signature on t-p. Woodcut 'golden compass' device of the Plantin press on title. Generally good. First edition of this early modern geographical dictionary published alongside the first Plantin edition of Ortelius' successful Theatrum orbis terrarum Antwerp 1579 and listing thousands of names both ancient and modern for "peoples regions islands great and small towns mountains foothills forests seas bays lakes" etc. depicted in the atlas. Earlier versions of the Synonymia had previously appeared as indices to the atlas containing a little over 2000 entries; "in all this first version of Ortelius' geographical dictionary in the form of a separate book includes approximately 10000 entries" Meurer. Ortelius' methodology in the present volume differs from that of his earlier indices: a parallel glossary of non-Latin names has been turned into a bilingual appendix and Ortelius relies almost completely on classical authors quoting moderns only when he cannot go straight to the source. The significance of these alterations for the author's role not as mapmaker but as linguist and lexicographer is hard to overstate: his introduction declares that he undertook the new Synonymia largely out of frustration at the scholarly inadequacy of current Latin lexica including earlier editions of his own which frequently printed inexact or even nonexistent terms sometimes on dodgy authority.

159517860Antwerp: Ortelius 1595. Copper-engraved map with full original colour Latin text on verso of one half of the sheet in excellent condition apart from a small expert repair to the left blank margin and a small section of the upper blank margin torn away. A superb map of Europe by one of the greatest names in the history of cartography.<br/> <br/>This important map of Europe derives in large part from Mercator's work; Russia from Jenkinson's map; Scandinavia from Olaus Magnus. The relatively modest cartouche shows a partially covered and apparently distraught Europa sitting on the back of Zeus in the form of a placid bull he the unwelcome lover of Europa both gazing toward Europe curious about its future.

In 1955 Oreste Piccioni was a staff member at Brookhaven National Laboratory. This paper reports on a collaboration between Pais and Piccioni that dealt with "bizarre manifestations of the mixing of Ko and Ko" specifically the fate of a freshly created Ko-beam. Their result was "a regeneration of K1 . . . manifested by the reappearance of the decay K1 2p. This prediction which has become known as the Pais-Piccioni effect was verified a few years later. . . Feyman has called these predictions 'one of the greatest achievements of theoretical physics. It is not based on an elegant hocus-pocus . . . yet the predictions are just as important as say the prediction of the positron.' It is certainly the best physics I have done in my whole life."

It has played a crucial role in my later work since it was the first occasion on which I learned to handle invariance principles. . ." Pais A tale of two continents p. 253. "It was the first paper to introduce selection rules as a consequence of what has become known as G-parity. For more on G-parity see Pais Inward bound p. 489."

"Soon after my arrival at Columbia I began a collaboration with Robert Serber another Columbia professor. Our first project was an analysis of 'K-fragments' possible bound states of K-particles to ordinary nuclear matter. A paper on that subject appeared that September."

Pais and Serber worked on the problem in quantum field theory introduced by the fact that the methods that had been so highly successful for QED failed entirely when applied to strong interactions and so the two worked out new computational methods. This is a careful methodological study of the strong coupling method. Pais A tale of two continents p. 343. The Physical Review, Vol. 105, No. 5, March 1, 1957. paperback books

This is the first time a physics paper was submitted for publication in which the ideas of Lee and Yang on p- and C-invariance were discussed. "The question Sam and I addressed concerned a decay mode named Koe3 the decay of a long-lived neutral K into a charged pion plus an electron plus a neutrino. Details need not be of concern here except for our remark that our results are 'independent of whether or not parity is conserved or not . . . and of whether charge conjugation invariance is valid or not in weak interactions.' Obviously we were prepared for either eventuality." Pais A tale of two continents p. 359. "Treiman who had begun his academic career in 1952 as an instructor at Princeton University was now an assistant professor there and has since climbed through the ranks. More important to me is that he has become my best American friend." Pais A tale of two continents p. 359. The Physical Review, Vol. 105, No. 5, March 1, 1957. paperback books
