Niccolò TARTAGLIA:MareMagnum

[Sammelband] (1) QUESITI ET INVENTIONI DIVERSE. (2) REGOLA GENERALE DI SOLEVARE OGNI FONDATA NAVE & NAVILII CON RAGIONE. (3) NOVA SCIENTIA CON UNA GIONTA AL TERZO LIBRO. 3 volumes in 1. (1) Folded flap, numerous illustrations and diagrams, of which 1 portrait of the author on the title page and 11 illustrated initials. (2) 22 illustrations and diagrams, of which 5 full-paged, as well as 9 illustrated initials and printer's device. (3) 1 large illustration on title page, 35 illustrations and diagrams, of which 1 full paged, as well as 3 illustrated initials, all executed as wood-cuts.

Sammelband with the major works by eminent Italian Renaissance mathematician and engineer Niccolò Tartaglia. – Author, Content: Present Sammelband contains 3 profusely illustrated volumes with early editions of the major works of Niccolò Fontana Tartaglia (1499/1500-1557), an important Venetian mathematician, engineer, translator (of Archimedes and Euclid into Italian) and author of scientific works: (1) The 2nd edition of 1554 (1st in 1546) of his seminal work about mathematics and their technical application in the fields of military ballistics (for calculating canon trajectories in particular), fortification, statics and topographic surveying, with the addendum to part no. 6 (of 9), which is considered one of the most important early publications on fortification. Present copy also includes the often missing folding flap (depicting a fortification wall) to the addendum, mounted to fore-edge of l. 71r. „Tartaglia's »Quesiti« contains his most important mathematical accomplishment: the independent discovery of the rule for solving third-degree (cubic) equations...“ (Norman). (2) The 3rd edition of 1562 (1st in 1554) of Tartaglia's »Regola«, a particularly rich illustrated treatise on retrieving sunken ships, on which subject he was also interested in his function as accountant for the Venetian Republic. The book, written in the form of imaginary dialogues between Tartaglia and his student, Richard Wentworth, also deals with deep sea diving (3 striking woodcuts with divers for illustration), meteorology for maritime shipping, as well as it prints extracts of Archimedes treatise »De insidentibus aquae«, completely translated and published by Tartaglia in Italian only 3 years later. (3) The 4th edition from 1558 of Tartaglia's Chef d'Œuvre »Nova Scientia« (1st published in 1537), the very first printed treatise on ballistics and a seminal work on motion in general, that led to the discoveries of Galileo and others in this area. The title page of »Nova Scientia« consists of a large woodcut illustration with the coat of arms of Francesco Maria II della Rovere, Duke of Urbino, and a full-paged allegorical depiction showing the author in the midst of the scientific disciplines (all incorporated female) and surrounded with the great scholars of the ancients, like Euclid, Aristotle and Plato.– These three treatises were probably issued together by Venetian printer and co-publisher Curzio Troiano Navò in 1562, using sheets left over from previous editions of (1) and (2), originally printed Niccolò de Bascarini. – Provenance: Engraved pictorial ex-libris with the monogram „F. C.“ at front paste down. – Condition: Cover at corners and edges bumped and worn, boards creased, ll. 1 and 2 of (3) with old repair at bottom, some leaves with water-stains at margins and occasionally foxy, (3) with tight bookbinder's cut to lower margin, no text loss however; generally a solid copy of this Sammelband of particular importance for the history of mathematics and military engineering. – Reference: (1) Adams T 184; Breman 293; CNCE 31875; Cockle 660; Norman 2055; Riccardi I/2, 499.

Wilhelm OLBERS:MareMagnum

ABHANDLUNG ÜBER DIE LEICHTESTE UND BEQUEMSTE METHODE DIE BAHN EINES COMETEN AUS EINIGEN BEOBACHTUNGEN ZU BERECHNEN. [Treatise on the easiest and most convenient method to calculate the path of a comet based on some observations.] With 1 engraved folding plate and numerous tables.

First edition of Olbers' groundbreaking work on computing the orbit of comets, together with the substantially corrected and enlarged 3rd edition from 1864 as well as a rare offprint of a paper by Ladislaus Weinek from 1904 depicting graphical evidence of Olbers' method. – Contents, Author: With this treatise, the Bremen based physician and astronomer Heinrich Wilhelm Olbers (1758-1840) established his reputation as one of the leading scholars on astronomy of his time. Olbers had discovered a comet in 1796 and developed a new method for calculating his path. This method replaced the tedious and often inaccurate calculations of Euler and La Place. „In a letter to F.X. von Zach, director of the newly founded observatory on the Seeberg, near Gotha, Olbers asked weather his treatise on this method should be printed, and if so, how this could be done. After reading the treatise and using it with excellent results to compute the orbit of the comet of 1779, which had presented great difficulties to many astronomers, von Zach decided to see it through the press himself. It appeared at Weimar 1797.“ (DSB). – Enclosed: (1) 3rd ed., enlarged by J. G. Galle. With Olbers' portrait as frontispiece and 1 folded plate. Leipzig: Voigt & Günther 1864. 8vo. XXXVI, 334 p. Contemporary half leather. (2) L.[adislaus] Weinek: Graphische Nachweise zur Olbersch'schen Methode der Kometenbahnbestimmung (…) Mit 8 Textfiguren. Aus den Sitzungsberichten der kaiserl. Akademie der Wissenschaften in Wien. Mathem.-naturw. Klasse; Bd. CXIII. Abt. IIa. Juli 1904. Vienna: Verlag der Kaiserlichen Akademie der Wissenschaften (in commission at Alfred Hölder [K.-k. Hof- und Staatsdruckerei]) 1904. 8vo. 20 p. Original publisher's wrappers. – Condition: Cover at edges and corners slightly worn, title page with some ink staines and one restored fault at lower right corner, some pages slightly foxy and water-stained, generally a solid copy. Cover of present copy of the 3rd edition (enclosure 1) with some small wear, paper in parts foxy, with owner's stamp on pre-title. Wrappers of the academy paper (enclosure 2) slightly stained, minimally torn at margins, otherwise well preserved. – Rarity: Very hard to find in this set, particularly with the late but important supplement by Weinek, during this period director of the Prague observatory. – Reference: DSB X, 198; Houzeau-L. 11965; Poggendorff II, 320.

Otto HAHN, Fritz STRASSMANN:MareMagnum

Abhandlungen der Preussischen Akademie der Wissenschaften. Jahrgang 1939. Mathematisch-naturwissenschaftliche Klasse. Nr. 12. ÜBER DAS ZERPLATZEN DES URANKERNES DURCH LANGSAME NEUTRONEN. With 3 cliché text illustrations after ink drawings and 3 tables.

First offprint in the original wrappers of this „fundamental paper on nuclear fission which eventually lead to the creation of the atomic bomb.“ (Dibner) – Contents, Edition: The German radio and nuclear chemists Otto Hahn and Fritz Straßmann "bombarding uranium with neutrons (as indicated by Fermi in the mid-1930s), found that treating the bombarded uranium with barium resulted in some strongly radioactive material. By late 1938 they suspected that uranium fission had occurred.“ These epochal findings had been presented by Hahn and Straßmann to the Prussian Academy on May 25th 1939. Their paper indicates in detail „fission of the uranium nucleus into two parts of about equal size with the release of much energy.“ – The publication date for the present offprint is stated „18th Sept. 1939“ in the colophon (not numbered p. 2). Known are also separate printings in the same typeset with wrappers on orange stock quoting „Einzelausgabe“ (separate edition) and the price information („RM 1,50“) on title page, and with a different list of „Sonderausgaben“ (separate printings) published by the Prussian Academy between 1927 and 1939 at rear cover. – Alongside the aforementioned an Austrian woman scientist of Jewish descent, Lise Meitner, colleague of the authors at the Berlin Kaiser-Wilhelm-Institute of Chemistry for decades, also contributed heavily to their findings. Meitner had to flee Nazi Germany in 1938 but continued her research in exile, e.g. in Copenhagen, where she worked in the laboratory of Niels Bohr. Through Bohr and Fermi this nuclear energy was to become a reality in the atomic pile and the bomb blasts of 1945 as well as in the nuclear power stations of the following decades. Hahn received the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1944, and together with Meitner and Strassmann, the Fermi award in 1966.“ (All quotes Dibner). If the 1st paper from 1939 contains the first comprehensive description of this core nuclear achievement, the following two corresponding papers published by Hahn and Straßmann with support by chemist Hans Götte during the Second World War in 1942 („Einiges über die experimentelle Entwirrung der bei der Spaltung des Urans auftretenden Elemente und Atomarten.“) and 1944 („Die chemische Abscheidung der bei der Spaltung des Urans entstehenden Elemente und Atomarten.“) describe experiments to identify the fission fragments. - Condition: Cover with some finger stains and traces of water stains, otherwise well preserved copy indeed. - Reference: Dibner, Heralds of Science, 168; Norman 963 (paper 1 only); Poggendorff VIIa/2, 355; Scheld 191.
