This volume contains his letters on divination and astrology, which he condemns along with other occult sciences such as palmistry, physiognomy and geomancy. ""Initially he cultivated eloquence, then philosophy and theology, then he devoted himself entirely to medicine and mathematics ... And he didn't stop there, as he soon became a follower of Llull's art ... He owned a famous library, which unfortunately was sold after his death ""(Thorndike, VI, pp 201-02) Riccardi I. 336.

In -8°, pp. (8), 114, brossura editoriale. Prima edizione del lavoro del matematico inglese sulla distribuzione dei numeri primi, considerato un classico nella matematica del Novecento, fu anche l’unico scritto pubblicato da Ingham in volume. La prima edizione si esaurì rapidamente, ma l’autore non volle collaborare a una ristampa considerandolo un lavoro troppo impegnativo. Lo si legge nel suo lungo necrologio sul “Times”: “Ingham could never be persuaded to prepare a second edition. The partial rewriting necessary to bring it up to date would have meant, with his exacting standards, more toil than he could face”. L’autore del necrologio aggiunge, subito dopo, che “Ingham was the embodiment of meticulous accuracy”. First edition of this work of the English scientist on prime numbers distribution, it’s considered a classic in XX century mathematics: it’s also the only one work published by Ingham in a volume. The author, as we read in his “Time” obituary, “could never be persuaded to prepare a second edition. The partial rewriting necessary to bring it up to date would have meant, with his exacting standards, more toil than he could face. Ingham was the embodiment of meticulous accuracy”.
