‎First edition of this collection of seminal papers within mathematical logic, all constituting some of the most important contributions mathematical logic and computional mathematics. A NOTE ON THE ENTSCHEIDUNGSPROBLEM (+) CORRECTION TO A NOTE ON THE ENTSCHEIDUNGSPROBLEM (+) REVIEW OF ""A. M. TURING. ON COMPUTABLE NUMBERS, WITH AN APPLICATION TO THE ENTSCHEIDUNGSPROBLEM"":First publication of Church's seminal paper in which he proved the solution to David Hilbert's ""Entscheidungsproblem"" from 1928, namely that it is impossible to decide algorithmically whether statements within arithmetic are true or false. In showing that there is no general algorithm for determining whether or not a given statement is true or false, he not only solved Hilbert's ""Entscheidungsproblem"" but also laid the foundation for modern computer logic. This conclusion is now known as Church's Theorem or the Church-Turing Theorem (not to be mistaken with the Church-Turing Thesis). The present paper anticipates Turing's famous ""On Computable Numbers"" by a few months. ""Church's paper, submitted on April 15, 1936, was the first to contain a demonstration that David Hilbert's 'Entscheidungsproblem' - i.e., the question as to whether there exists in mathematics a definite method of guaranteeing the truth or falsity of any mathematical statement - was unsolvable. Church did so by devising the 'lambda-calculus', [...] Church had earlier shown the existence of an unsolvable problem of elementary number theory, but his 1936 paper was the first to put his findings into the exact form of an answer to Hilbert's 'Entscheidungsproblem'. Church's paper bears on the question of what is computable, a problem addressed more directly by Alan Turing in his paper 'On computable numbers' published a few months later. The notion of an 'effective' or 'mechanical' computation in logic and mathematics became known as the Church-Turing thesis."" (Hook & Norman: Origins of Cyberspace, 250) Church coined in his review of Turing's paper the phrase 'Turing machine'.FINITE COMBINATORY PROCESSES-FORMULATION I: The Polish-American mathematician Emil Post made notable contributions to the theory of recursive functions. In the 1930s, independently of Turing, Post came up with the concept of a logic automaton similar to a Turing machine, which he described in the present paper (received on October 7, 1936). Post's paper was intended to fill a conceptual gap in Alonzo Church's paper on 'An unsolvable problem of elementary number theory'. Church had answered in the negative Hilbert's 'Entscheidungsproblem' but failed to provide the assertion that any such definitive method could be expressed as a formula in Church's lambda-calculus. Post proposed that a definite method would be one written in the form of instructions to mind-less worker operating on an infinite line of 'boxes' (equivalent to the Turing machines 'tape'). The range of instructions proposed by Post corresponds exactly to those performed by a Turing machine, and Church, who edited the Journal of Symbolic Logic, felt it necessary to insert an editorial note referring to Turing's ""shortly forthcoming"" paper on computable numbers, and asserting that ""the present article ... although bearing a later date, was written entirely independently of Turing's"". (Hook & Norman: Origins of Cyberspace, 356).COMPUTABILITY AND LAMBDA-DEFINABILITY (+) THE Ø-FUNCTION IN LAMBDA-K-CONVERSION: The volume also contains Turing's influential ""Computability and lambda-definability"" in which he proved that computable functions ""are identical with the lambda-definable functions of Church and the general recursive functions due to Herbrand and Gödel and developed by Kleene"". (Hook & Norman: Origins of Cyberspace, 395).‎

‎First publication of Church's seminal paper in which he proved the solution to David Hilbert's ""Entscheidungsproblem"" from 1928, namely that it is impossible to decide algorithmically whether statements within arithmetic are true or false. In showing that there is no general algorithm for determining whether or not a given statement is true or false, he not only solved Hilbert's ""Entscheidungsproblem"" but also laid the foundation for modern computer logic.

(Hook & Norman: Origins of Cyberspace, 250) The volume also contains first printing of Post's seminal paper, in which he, simultaneously with but independently of Turing, describes a logic automaton, which very much resembles the Turing machine. The Universal Turing Machine, which is presented for the first time in Turing's seminal paper in the Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society for 1936, is considered one of the most important innovations in the theory of computation and constitutes the most famous theoretical paper in the history of computing. ""Post [in the present paper] suggests a computation scheme by which a ""worker"" can solve all problems in symbolic logic by performing only machinelike ""primitive acts"". Remarkably, the instructions given to the ""worker"" in Post's paper and to a Universal Turing Machine were identical."" (A Computer Perspective, p. 125).""The Polish-American mathematician Emil Post made notable contributions to the theory of recursive functions. In the 1930s, independently of Turing, Post came up with the concept of a logic automaton similar to a Turing machine, which he described in the present paper [the paper offered].

Post proposed that a definite method would be written in the form of instructions to a mindless worker operating on an infinite line of ""boxes"" (equivalent to Turing's machine's ""tape""). The worker would be capable only of reading the instructions and performing the following tasks... This range of tasks corresponds exactly to those performed by a Turing machine, and Church, who edited the ""Journal of Symbolic Logic"", felt it necessary to insert an editorial note referring to Turing's ""shortly forthcoming"" paper on computable numbers, and ascertaining that ""the present article... although bearing a later date, was written entirely independently of Turing's"" (p. 103)."" (Origins of Cyberspace, pp. 111-12).Even though Post's work to some degree has been outshined by Turing's, the present paper is of seminal importance in the history of the foundation for modern computer logic and the ideological basis for the modern computer.The volume also contains the following important papers by W.

‎Puseyism, or Anglo-Catholicism, briefly considered in connection with the Doctrine of the Church of Rome‎

‎London: John Lee, 1843 ‎

‎A pamphlet (once bound in with other pamphlets). Complete. Title page, Introduction, text. The pamphlet now appears disbound, as it has been removed from a collection - but is complete in itself. A touch of darkening to the covers, and a small stain to the bottom of pages 4/5 but otherwise in good clean condition. Now held in an archival wallet. 24 pp. A scarce item, Copac shows holdings only at BL, Oxford & Cambridge. William Joseph Irons (1812-1883) was an Anglican priest and Theolgian. He was a strong defender of Church of England as the Established Church, and argued against seceding from the church (whether to Rome or to the more Protestant churches). He was the vicar of Brompton at the time of the publication of this work, and the introduction is dated Brompton April 1843. He is names by Lawrence Crumb (in "The Oxford Movement and its leaders, a bibliography of Secondary and Lesser Primary Sources") as the probable author of this work.‎

‎A formulation of the simple theory of types. - [CHURCH'S TYPE THEORY]‎

‎(No place), The Association for Symbolic Logic, 1940 & 1941. Lev8vo. Bound in red half cloth with gilt lettering to spine. In ""Journal of Symbolic Logic"", Volume 5 & 6. Barcode label pasted on to back board. Small library stamp to lower part of 6 pages. A very fine copy. Pp. 56-68. [Entire copy: IV, 188, IV, 184 pp.).‎

‎First printing of Church's seminal paper in which he introduced his Type Theory: A simpler and more general Type Theory than the one introduced by Bertrand Russell in 1908 and Whitehead & Russell in 1927.""Church's type theory is a formal logical language which includes first-order logic, but is more expressive in a practical sense. It is used, with some modifications and enhancements, in most modern applications of type theory. It is particularly well suited to the formalization of mathematics and other disciplines and to specifying and verifying hardware and software. A great wealth of technical knowledge can be expressed very naturally in it. With possible enhancements, Church's type theory constitutes an excellent formal language for representing the knowledge in automated information systems, sophisticated automated reasoning systems, systems for verifying the correctness of mathematical proofs, and certain projects involving logic and artificial intelligence.""

‎Scarce second edition of Arnold's influential ""Impartial History of the Church and of Heresy"".""In this major revision of church history, Arnold directed his sharpest criticism against those who wrote deeply biased apologetic ""orthodox"" histories instead of trying to understand where substantial religious differences actually came from. In his view,""heresy making"" was usually the defensive reaction of those in authority, rather than a true indictment of unconventional thinkers. He thought that the worst calamity in Church history was its establishment as the accepted and orthodox faith by the Roman Emperor Constantine in the fourth century. Arnold evinced a remarkable sympathy for a huge variety of ""heretics."" This ""impartial history"" exercised a wide influence on the German Enlightenment and won approval from such thinkers as Johann Wolfgang Goethe in addition to Leo Tolstoy.""‎

‎Les Clowns ‎

‎Paris Éditions des Deux Amis 1922 Première édition, numérotée. Signée avec une chaleureuse inscription par l'auteur. Avec 3 phototypes coloriés à la main d'après Georges Rouault reproduits et coloriés par Jacomet. Reliure privée en demi-vélin de l'époque, couverture originale illustrée avec la reliure, les plats sont recouverts d'un joli papier calicot imprimé. Un des 240 exemplaires sur papier vélin (sur un tirage total de 250). Cet exemplaire n'est pas numéroté, mais il est indiqué qu'il s'agit de l'exemplaire de l'Auteur. Nous avons vu d'autres exemplaires également désignés comme exemplaire de l'auteur ; il s'agit donc vraisemblablement d'un petit nombre d'exemplaires remis à l'auteur pour distribution plutôt que de L'EXEMPLAIRE. En très bon état, propre. L'intérieur est impeccable. Rouault (1871-1958) était l'un des artistes du livre les plus accomplis de son époque. Il s'intéressait particulièrement aux clowns et ces illustrations du texte d'Henry Church anticipent son Cirque (1931) et le Cirque de l'Etoile filante (1938). L'expression des figures et le lyrisme font de Rouault le premier des expressionnistes. Chapon 210, 244. 38 pages. 190 x 140 mm.‎

‎First edition, numbered edition. Signed with a warm inscription by the author. With 3 hand-coloured Phototypes after Georges Rouault reproduced and pattern-coloured by Jacomet. Private half vellum binding of the time, illustrated original cover with binding, the covers with pretty calico printed paper. One of 240 copies on velin paper (from a total edition of 250). This copy is not numbered, but is stated that it is the Author's copy. We have seen other copies also designated as Author's copy so this is presumably one of a small number given to the author for distribution rather than THE copy. In very nice, clean condition. Internally spotless. Rouault (1871-1958) was one of the most accomplished book artists of his period. He had a particular interest in clowns and these illustrations to Henry Church's text anticipate his Cirque (1931) and Cirque de l'Etoile filante (1938). Their expression of figures and lyricism make Rouault the first of the Expressionists. Chapon 210, 244. 38 pages. 190 by 140mm (7œ by 5œ inches). .‎

‎" S.l. ( Antwerpen ) , no printer ( Gilles van den Rade ) , 1574, in-8°, 88 unnumbered pp, bound in full leather with blindtooling on both covers, raised spine, leather with some use, interior fine. With a ( contemporary ?) manuscript ex-libris of an Antwerp monastery. The title page contains a manuscript number within a typographical border. The publication served as a lottery ticket. The title page has also in the lower margin a diamond shaped blindstamp. Nice copy of a very rare publication with texts of the chambers of rethoric of the Southern Netherlands published by the church wardens to finance the finishing of their new church in ''Late Gothic Style''. F. Kossmann gives a detailed description of the few remaining copies of this lottery ticket in the form of a book (De Guld. Passer, 1924, pp. 1-18 - periodical published by the ''Antwerpsche Bibliophilen''). He describes 9 copies in Dutch collections. The USTC (2017) describes 7 copies. Our copy belongs to the ''Group I''. This group has no printer's name and no quire signatures. Most known copies have each a different composition. The rethorical texts ( songs ) are answers to 9 propositions made by the wardens. We give here the texts of our copy as listed by Kossmann. I (1,5,4,). II (2,1,) III (3,4,1,2,5,6,7,8,). IV (7,8,9,10,11,12,). V (1,2,). VI (2,1,). VII (4,5,). VIII (4,5,). Our copy contains thus 4 songs with printed score. It is complete with the title, the dedication , the table with the propositions, the full page woodcut of the arms of Philip II , and Salomons Gebed, bound in at the end. This makes it the only complete copy of group I ( compared with items LR , Sch , H , A , W , which all lack one or another item) (;sixteenth century printed music;songs;poetry;dutch;literature;lottery;)."‎

‎London William Pickering 1853 Première édition. Une réimpression ornée du livre de prières communes de la reine Élisabeth. Il s'agit d'une réimpression du livre de prières de 1569, mais mise à jour, avec des prières pour la restauration de la famille royale, des prières pour Charles le Martyr et des prières pour la reine Victoria. La reliure ornée est un peu ternie et frottée, mais reste attrayante. L'étiquette est manquante et ne montre donc que l'empreinte. Malheureusement, la page de titre et la gravure frontispice d'Elizabeth manquent également (les deux sont fournies en photocopie). Le livre commence donc par la page de garde. La page de garde est marquée et comporte des crayons de couleur. Sinon, les pages sont propres, mais il y a un peu de noircissement. Hormis la perte du titre, le livre est en bon état. Le dernier feuillet présente quelques taches d'encre. Il semblerait que le livre ait été ré-encadré sans les feuilles manquantes, car il n'y a pas de signe de perte. Porte l'ex-libris de Stephen Lewin de Boston. Peut-être l'architecte et urbaniste de Boston (Lincolnshire). Mary Byfield, de la Chiswick Press, a découpé les blocs de ce livre de prière commune orné et attrayant. Non paginé. a-AA5. 180 x 130 mm.‎

‎First edition thus. An ornate reprint of the book of Common Prayer of Queen Elizabeth. This is a reprint of the 1569 prayer book, but brought up to date, with prayers for the Restoration of the Royal Family, Prayers for Charles the Martyr and prayers for Queen Victoria included. The Ornate binding is a little dulled and rubbed, but still attractive. Label lacking, so only shows the imprint. Unfortunately, the title page and frontis engraving of Elizabeth are also lacking (both are supplied in photocopy). The book thus begins with the contents page. The contents page is marked and with crayon. Otherwise the pages are clean, but a touch of darkening. Apart from the loss of title, the book is in decent condition. The final leaf has some ink staining. It would seem that the book has been re-cased without the missing leaves, as there is no sign of loss. Bears the bookplate of Stephen Lewin of Boston. Possibly the architect and town planner from Boston Lincolnshire. Mary Byfield of the Chiswick Press cut the blocks of this ornate and attractive book of Common Prayer.

All edges gilt. Kept in blue cloth box. Binding signed on the inside '' Birdsall Northampton''. Finely preserved binding notwithstanding some unobtrusive damage by flaking of two gilt corner ornaments. The illuminations and calligraphy attest to a very high craftmanship. This attractive book is a fine specimen of a late Victorian gift book and it would be difficult in the 21st century to find the craftsmen who could replicate such an object.."‎
