‎The seminal first edition of the first volume of the landmark work that founded modern mathematical logic and came to define research in the foundations of mathematics throughout the 20th century. ""Principia Mathematica"" proved to be remarkably influential in at least three ways. First, it popularized modern mathematical logic to an extent undreamt of by its authors. By using a notation superior to that used by Frege, Whitehead and Russell managed to convey the remarkable expressive power of modern predicate logic in a way that previous writers had been unable to achieve. Second, by exhibiting so clearly the deductive power of the new logic, Whitehead and Russell were able to show how powerful the idea of a modern formal system could be, thus opening up new work in what soon was to be called metalogic. Third, Principia Mathematica re-affirmed clear and interesting connections between logicism and two of the main branches of traditional philosophy, namely metaphysics and epistemology, thereby initiating new and interesting work in both of these areas.As a result, not only did Principia introduce a wide range of philosophically rich notions (including propositional function, logical construction, and type theory), it also set the stage for the discovery of crucial metatheoretic results (including those of Kurt Gödel, Alonzo Church, Alan Turing and others). Just as importantly, it initiated a tradition of common technical work in fields as diverse as philosophy, mathematics, linguistics, economics and computer science."" (SEP)""""Principia Mathematica"", the landmark work in formal logic written by Alfred North Whitehead and Bertrand Russell, was first published in three volumes in 1910, 1912 and 1913. A second edition appeared in 1925 (Volume 1) and 1927 (Volumes 2 and 3). In 1962 an abbreviated issue (containing only the first 56 chapters) appeared in paperback. In 2011 a digest of the book's main definitions and theorems, originally transcribed by Russell for Rudolf Carnap, was reprinted in The Evolution of Principia Mathematica, edited by Bernard Linsky.Written as a defense of logicism (the thesis that mathematics is in some significant sense reducible to logic), the book was instrumental in developing and popularizing modern mathematical logic. It also served as a major impetus for research in the foundations of mathematics throughout the twentieth century. Along with Aristotle's Organon and Gottlob Frege's Grundgesetze der Arithmetik, it remains one of the most influential books on logic ever written."" (SEP). ‎

‎ACTA MATHEMATICA. Zeitschrift herausgegeben / Journal rédigé par‎

‎Stockholm, Beijer, 1882-1902, in-4, 26 tomes en 22 volumes, 18 volumes demi-basane bleue et 4 volumes brochés, Très rare ensemble de la tête de collection de cette revue capitale, encore éditée aujourd'hui, fondée par le mathématicien Magnus Gustaf Mittag-Leffler (1846-1927), maître de conférence à l'université d'Uppsala en 1872, professeur à l'université d'Helsingfors (Finlande) en 1877 et à la faculté des sciences de Stockholm à partir de 1881. Certainement le plus prestigieux de tous les journaux consacrés à la recherche en mathématiques. Les Acta Mathematica se flattent de la contribution des plus grands mathématiciens de l'époque : Henri Poincaré, Sophie Kowalevski, Georg Cantor, Émile Picard, Paul Appell, Rudolf Lipschitz, Johan Jensen, David Hilbert, Émile Borel, Heinrich Martin Weber, etc... Ils contiennent entre autre le fameux travail d'Henri Poincaré sur la théorie du chaos, qu'il publia en remplacement de son mémoire initial sur la stabilité du système solaire. L'épisode relatif à ces 2 mémoires fait partie des temps forts de l'histoire de la revue : En 1889, Poincaré rédige un mémoire pour répondre au problème de savoir si les petites perturbations intrinsèques au mouvement des planètes pourraient, un jour, provoquer une collision entre elles ou bien si, comme l'avaient démontré Laplace, Lagrange et Gauss, le système solaire restera stable pendant au moins un million d'années. Le roi Oscar II de Suède lance un concours auquel répond le mathématicien français : en démontrant qu'un système très simple, formé de trois corps dont un de masse presque nulle, est un système stable, Poincaré obtient le prix du concours. Il est prévu que le mémoire soit publié dans les Acta Mathematica. L'article est imprimé, mais tout de suite après sa relecture, on constate une erreur fondamentale, qui non seulement invalide le raisonnement de l'auteur, mais plus encore, le conduit à une conclusion opposée : le système peut être instable. Poincaré dépense plus de la totalité de son prix à faire détruire les tirages et à faire réimprimer le numéro sans son article. Un an après, les Acta Mathematica publient son mémoire révisé, Sur le problème des trois corps et les équations de la dynamique, occupant la quasi intégralité du tome 13 (1890), qui fonde l'une des théories mathématiques les plus connues et les plus populaires, la théorie du chaos. Articles en allemand et en français. 2 portraits : Karl Weierstrass et Sophie Kowalevski Tables des matières aux tome 10 et 20. In fine au tome 11 : liste des 12 mémoires, anonymes, présentés au Prix Oscar II. Sans le portrait d'Abel annoncé au tome I. Volumes en demi-basane : dos épidermés et passés. Couvertures des volumes brochés fanées, dos muets refaits. Cachets annulé de l'Institut catholique de Paris et étiquettes en pied des dos. Couverture rigide‎

‎PHILOSOPHIAE NATURALIS PRINCIPIA MATHEMATICA.‎

‎Perpetuis Commentariis illustrata, communi studio PP. Thomae Le Seur & Francisci Jacquier. Typis Barrillot & Filii, Genevae, 1739-1742. In-8 gr. (mm. 265x209), 3 volumi, cartonato rustico coevo, titolo manoscritto al dorso, pp. XXXV,(1),548 (le pp. XXXIII-XXXV sono state posposte dopo la pag. 546); (8),422,(2). Il 3° vol. (con numeraz. continua) è così suddiviso: parte I - (8),XXVIII,1-374, 1 c.b. (pp. XXV-XXVIII posposte dopo la pag. 4) / parte II (introdotta da un occhietto con titolo: "Philosophiae naturalis principia mathematica". Autore Isaaco Newtono .. Tomi tertii continuatio, continens Lunae theoriam newtonianam), 1 c.b., pp. V-VIII,375-703 (le pp. 511-514 posposte). Frontespizi stampati in rosso e nero con bella vignetta calcografica incisa da Jean Louis Daudet; nel testo centinaia di diagrammi inc. su legno. I volumi 1° e 2° sono completi di un occhietto, dal titolo: Newtoni Principia philosophiae, cum commentario perpetuo. Prima edizione con questi commenti. Lopera è suddivisa in tre libri, nei primi due tratta del moto dei corpi e dei mezzi di contrasto, quali aria e acqua; nel terzo libro, chiamato De mundi systemate, Newton espone la legge di gravitazione universale che agisce, secondo l'A. in ogni luogo e per ogni corpo. Nel terzo volume sono contenuti inoltre tre studi complementari sul fenomeno delle maree: Traité sur le flux et reflux de la mer di Daniel Bernoulli (p. 133) - De causa physica fluxus et refluxus maris di MacLaurin (p. 247) - Inquisitio physica in causam fluxus ac refluxus maris di Euler (p. 283).These three works gained the Prize given by the Royal Academy of Science in 1724 for resolving the Problem relating to the Motion of the Tides from the theory of gravity (così Gray, Bibliogr. of the works of Sir Isaac Newton, p. 11)Questa edizione monumentale è particolarmente stimata per lexcellent commentaire (come cita il Brunet,IV, 49) dei padri Le Seur et Jacquier e dimportanza capitale per la storia della diffusione delle teorie newtoniane in Europa. I due commentatori lhanno arricchita di note, citazioni e dimostrazioni così notevoli da farne ledizione di riferimento per tutto il XVIII secolo.Newton divide con Galileo il merito di aver posto, nella sua opera fondamentale "Principia mathematica" (1687), le basi della meccanica.. e a prescindere dal posto che occupano in tale storia, essi costituiscono unopera fondamentale dal punto di vista dellevoluzione del pensiero matematico, così Diz. Treccani,VIII. p. 331.Con uniformi ingialliture su tutti i volumi, ma complessivamente esemplare in buono stato, con barbe.‎
