198627209Springer-Verlag. 1986. Hardcover. Very Good in No Dust Jacket dust jacket. Scholar's bookplate to inner cover G. P. Goold. Light soiling to rear board of vol. 2 else books have very minor shelfwear.; The seventh book of Pappus's Collection his commentary on the Domain or Treasury of Analysis figures prominently in the history of both ancient and modern mathematics: as our chief source of information concerning several lost works of the Greek geometers Euclid and Apollonius and as a book that inspired later mathematicians among them Viete Newton and Chasles to original discoveries in their pursuit of the lost science of antiquity. This presentation of it is concerned solely with recovering what can be learned from Pappus about Greek mathematics. The main part of it comprises a new edition of Book 7; a literal translation; and a commentary on textual historical and mathematical aspects of the book. It proved to be convenient to divide the commentary into two parts the notes to the text and translation and essays about the lost works that Pappus discusses. The first function of an edition of this kind is not to expose new discoveries but to present a reliable text and organize the accumulated knowledge about it for the reader's convenience. Nevertheless there are novelties here. The text is based on a fresh transcription of Vat. Gr. 218 the archetype of all extant manuscripts and in it I have adopted numerous readings on manuscript authority or by emendation that differ from those of the old edition of Hultsch. Moreover many difficult parts of the work have received little or no commentary hitherto.; 749 pages . 0387962573 . Springer-Verlag hardcover

This printing which contains the complete extant text of Pappos in Latin translation is responsible for reviving ancient mathematics in the Renaissance and shaping much modern mathematics profoundly influencing the likes of Descartes and Newton. "Pappos was the greatest mathematician of the final period of ancient science and no one emulated him in Byzantine times. He was the last mathematical giant of antiquity." George Sarton Ancient Science and Modern Civilization. p.82. "Pappus of Alexandria in ab. 320 composed a work with the title Collection Synagoge which is important for several reasons. In the first place it provides a most valuable historical record of parts of Greek Mathematics that otherwise would be unknown to us. For instance it is in Book V of the Collection that we learn of Archimedes' discovery of the thirteen semiregular polyhedra or "Archimedian solids". Then too the Collection includes alternative proofs and supplementary lemmas for propositions in Euclid Archimedes Appolonius and Ptolemy. Finally the treatise includes new discoveries and generalizations not found in any earlier work. The Collection Pappus' most important treatise contained eight Books but the first Book and the first part of the second Book are now lost" Boyer A History of Mathematics p. 205. "Each book 8 is preceded by general reflexions which give to that group of problems its philosophical and historical setting. The prefaces are of deep interest to historians of mathematics and therefore it is a great pity that three of them are lost . Book VII is far the longest book of the Collection . and here we find in it the famous Pappo's problem: "given several straight lines in a plane to find the locus point such that when straight lines are drawn from it to the given lines at a given angle the products of certain of the segments shall be in a given ratio to the product of the remaining ones". This problem is important in itself but even so because it exercized Descartes' mind and caused him to invent the method of coordinates explained in his Geométrie 1637. Think of a seed lying asleep for more than thirteen centuries and then helping to produce that magnificent flowering analytical geometry . The final Book VIII is mechanical and is largely derived from Heron of Alexandria. Following Heron Pappos distinguished various parts of theoretical mechanics geometry arithmetic astronomy and physics. The Book is considered the climax of Greek mechanics and helps us to realize the great variety of problems to which the Hellenistic mechanicians addressed themselves. If Book VIII is the climax of Greek mechanics we may say as well that the whole collection is a treasury and to some extent the culmination of Greek mathematics. . The ideas collected or invented by Pappos did not stimulate Western mathematicians until very late but when they finally did they caused the birth of modern mathematics- analytical geometry projective geometry centrobaric method. That birth or rebirth from Pappos' ashes occurred within four years 1637-40. This was modern geometry connected immediately with the ancient one as if nothing had happened between." Georg Sarton op.cit. - It is from Pappus we have the famous words of Archimedes: "Give me a place to stand and I will move the earth" Se PMM No 72. - "Without pretending to great originality the whole work shows on the part of the author a thorough grasp of all the subjects treated independent of judgement mastery of technique; the style is terse and clear; in short Pappus stands out as an accomplished and versatile mathematician a worthy representative of the classical Greek geometry."

Pesaro: H. Concordia 1588. First edition and a very fine and fresh copy of this uncommon book; this edition providing the complete extant text was the final work to be edited by Commandino and completes his life's work of reviving Renaissance mathematics by making available the best mathematical writings of antiquity. "In the silver age of Greek mathematics Pappus stands out as an accomplished and versatile geometer. His treatise known as the Synagoge or Collection is a chief and sometimes the only source for our knowledge of his predecessors' achievements. The Collection is in eight books perhaps originally in twelve of which the first and part of the second are missing. "Book VII is the most fascinating in the whole Collection not merely by its intrinsic interest and by what it preserves of earlier writers but by its influence on modern mathematics."D.S.B. X p. 293-95and see pp. 294-98 for a full discussion of the contents. This concerns in a passage on Apollonius' Conics the attempt to conceive of the product of more than three straight lines as geometrical entities known as "Pappus' Problem." Descartes devoted a major part of his own Géométrie to this and solved it by the use of algebraic notation. "Pappus' problem thus inspired the new method of analytical geometry that has proved such a powerful tool in subsequent centuries. In his Principia 1687 Newton also found inspiration in Pappus; he proved in a purely geometrical manner that the locus with respect to four lines is a conic section which may degenerate into a circle."D.S.B. X p. 296. Topics discussed in the other books include astronomy and mechanics. A very fine copy preserved in a green morocco-backed box. Rose The Italian Renaissance of Mathematics p. 214"Within 25 years of Commandino's death the first step in founding the mechanics of the seventeenth century was to be taken by Galileo when in criticising the inclined plane theorem of Pappus the Tuscan mathematician adumbrated the notion of inertia. This step was not taken in an intellectual vacuum but represents the culmination of the mathematical renaissance that had been achieved by the Restauratores."& see the whole of Chap. 9 for Commandino and this book.
