‎---- EDITION ORIGNALE des oeuvres de Jean Bernoulli dans laquelle se trouvent réunis tous les articles parus dans divers journaux scientifiques ainsi que de nombreux mémoires restés inédits, notamment celui relatif à l'hydraulique ---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- Ex-libris de l'ingénieur MAILLEBIAU ---- "THE FIRST EDITION OF Jean BERNOULLI's COLLECTED WORKS brings together 189 of his papers and 59 of his lectures. The first volume is primarily devoted to problems in geometry and the early calculus, but also contains papers on muscular mechanics, the resistance of solids and a geometrical demonstration of the motion of pendulums and projectiles in resisting and unresisting media. Volumes 2 and 3 are almost totally devoted to problems of mechanics, the first of these containing his theoretical essay on the maneuvering of vessels and related papers, as well as numerous contributions on the analysis of trajectories. His discourse on the laws governing the communication of movement opens volume 3, which also contains his essay on celestial mechanics. The last volume contains contributions on the curvature of elastic plates, his mechanico-dynamical propositions and problems in dynamics. Most important its appearance in this volume represents the first printing of the hydraulica which was written in competition with his son, Daniel". (Bibliotheca Mechanica pp. 36/37) ---- NORMAN N° 217 : "The younger brother of Jakob I Bernoulli, Johann I collaborated with his brother and with Leibnitz to produce almost all of the present elementary differential and integral calculus, along with the beginnings of ordinary differential equations and the calculus of variations. The integral calculus was published in Johann I's Opera omnia, which contains all of his mathematical papers" ---- DSB II p. 51/55 - Honeyman N° 293**478/i1‎
