‎Scarce first edition of the first translation of Euclid in any modern language by the famous Niccolo Tartaglia. The translation and Tartaglia's commentaries, strongly accelerated the development of physics and mechanics in the 16th century, as it showed how mathematics could be applied to dynamics and mechanics as well as to architecture, construction and perspective. More than 20 years should elapse before the next language should receive the privilege of displaying Euclid among their goods, this was the French translation published by Pierre Forcadel, Paris 1564. ""When Tartaglia submits that his redaction was made ""secondo le due tradittioni"", there is no question that Campanus - who appears to be heavely favored - and Zamberti are meant. When Campanus has added propositions or premises, Tartaglia has approriately translated them and noted their absence ""nelle seconda tradittione"", while things omitted by Campanus but included by Zamberti receive the reverse treatment"" (John Murdoch in DSB).Niccolo Fontana Tartaglia of Brescia has a great name in the history of mathematics. A cut in the face from a French soldier caused him to stammer and as a consequence of this he was called 'Tartaglia' (the stammerer). He is famous for his solution of third-degree equations which occasioned a long polemic with Cardano about priority. He is also known for ""Tartaglia's Triangle"", later known as ""Pascal's Triangle"", and he is well-known for his Archimedes-edition of 1543 and 1551 with his commentaries.""The most famous source of Greek geometry is the monumental work of Euclid of Alexandria, called the ""Elements"" (around 300 B.C.). No other book of science had a comparable influence on the intellectual development of mankind. It was a treatise of geometry in thirteen books which included all the fundamental results of scientific geometry up to his time. Euclid did not claim for himself any particular discovery, he was merely a compiler. Yet, in view of the systematic arrangement of the subject matter and the exact logical procedure followed, we cannot doubt that he himself provided a large body of specific formulations and specific auxiliary theorems in his deductions. It is no longer possible to pass judgement on the authorship of much of this material"" his book was meant as a textbook of geometry which paid attention to the material, while questions of priority did not enter the discussion.""

‎Scarce second edition of Tartaglia's very influential translation of all Euclid's 15 Books, as this Italian translation of Euclid was the first translation at all into the vernacular.

‎Første udgave på dansk af Euclids ""Elementer"", omfattende Bog 1-6 og 11-12. J.F. Ramus have allerede nogle år tidligere udgivet Euclid, men disse var mindre lærebøger i uddrag og på latin. Oversættelsen indeholder en lang introduktion af Ramus ""Betænkning om Euclidis Elementer og om deres Oversættelse i det Danske Sprog.""Ziegenbalg var teologisk kandidat, men havde studeret matematik i flere år, både i Jena og i England. Han blev udnævnt til professor i matematik ved Københavns Universitet efter Ramus, og havde i nogle år forinden fungeret som dennes assistent. Hans oversættelse er dedikeret Christian den VI, og i forordet introducerer han den således ""offereres (oversættelsen) Deres Kongelige Majestæt...disse udi det Danske Sprog oversatte Elementa Geometriæ, som ere Hoved=Kilden til alle Mathematiske Videnskaber og have nu i 2000 Aar været i saa stor Estime, at alle de største og erfarne Mathematici have grundet deres Skrifter paa dem og at de til almindelig Nytte og Brug ere bekientgiorte næsten udi alle Europæiske, men ey tilforn i dette Sprog.""First edition of the first Euclid-translation into Danish, comprising Book 1-6 and 11-12.

‎Scarce third printing of the so-called Zambert-Campanus Edition of the Elements, all printed by Johann Herwagen in Basel - this edition printed together with his son-in-law Bernhard Brand. The first of the Herwagen prints was the famous Editio Princeps in Greek from 1533, and in 1537 he published a Latin version, which became the first Euclid-editon to contain also Euclids smaller tracts as ""Phenomena""(Spherical geometry), ""Katroptik"" (Mirror-reflexion), ""Optik"" und ""Data""(Geometrical excersises). The 1537- edition was reprinted 1546 and in 1558 (the present).""The most famous source of Greek geometry is the monumental work of Euclid of Alexandria, called the ""Elements"" (around 300 B.C.).

‎Elementorum Euclidis libri tredecim : Secundum vetera exemplaria restituti. Ex versione Latina Federici Commandini aliquam multis in locis castigata‎

‎Londini [London] Excidebat Gulielmus Iones [William Jones] 1620 Un très bel exemplaire de cet ouvrage illustré d'Euclide. Conforme à OCLC : 867116145. FirstSearch indique que cette édition a été éditée par le mathématicien Henry Briggs. Reliure en plein cuir, probablement des planches d'origine, avec un dos et une étiquette en cuir plus tardifs avec une décoration dorée. La reliure est en bon état, propre, avec un minimum de bosses et d'usure. La charnière du dos est légèrement fendue. Les pages de garde proviennent d'un ouvrage latin antérieur (XVIe siècle). Il est inhabituel de voir des pages utilisées de cette manière comme feuilles de garde. La reliure a été réalisée sans couverture intérieure sur les planches. Le premier plat porte l'ex-libris de Sir Lucius O'Brien Bart*, ainsi que les marques de propriété de Gilbert Clark, Johannis Clenche (1691) et Edmund Clampin ( ?). Hormis les marques de propriété, cet ouvrage est généralement propre et bien rangé. Il y a une légère marque d'humidité sur le bord supérieur, mais elle est très légère. L'ouvrage est écrit en deux colonnes, avec le grec et le latin côte à côte. Malgré le titre, cet ouvrage comprend les livres 1 à 6 des éléments d'Euclide. Gravures géométriques sur bois tout au long de l'ouvrage. Très bel exemplaire propre. [2]-250-[2] pp. 285 par 185mm (11Œ par 7Œ inches). Henry Briggs était un mathématicien anglais, dont la principale contribution fut la simplification des logarithmes et l'algorithme pour la division longue (qui est toujours utilisé). En 1619, il a été nommé professeur de géométrie à l'université d'Oxford et a produit cet ouvrage en 1620. Sans importance, mais néanmoins intéressant, il est à l'origine de la notion erronée de Californie en tant qu'île, qu'il a exposée dans un traité sur le passage du Nord-Ouest imprimé en 1622, avec une carte montrant l'île, et souvent réimprimée par la suite. *Sir Lucius O'Brien. (1731-1795). Baronnet irlandais, érudit en grec et en latin, membre du Parlement et conseiller privé.‎

‎A very nice copy of this illustrated work of Euclid. Conforms to OCLC: 867116145. Here, FirstSearch states that this edition was edited by the mathematician Henry Briggs. Full leather binding, probably original boards, with a later leather spine and label with gilt decoration. Binding is in good, clean condition, with minimal bumping and wear. Slight splitting to the spine hinge. The end papers are from an earlier (16th Century) Latin work. Unusual to see pages used as end papers in this way. The binding has been made without inside covering to the boards. The front board holds the bookplate of Sir Lucius O'Brien Bart* Also has ownership marks of Gilbert Clark, Johannis Clenche (1691) and Edmund Clampin (?). Apart from the ownership marks, this work is mainly clean and tidy. There is a light damp mark to the top edge, but a very faint one. The work is written in two columns, with the Greek and Latin side by side. Despite the title, this work includes books 1-6 of Euclid's elements. Geometrical woodcut engravings throughout. A very nice clean copy. [2]-250-[2] pp. 285 by 185mm (11Œ by 7Œ inches). Henry Briggs was an English mathematician, whose main contribution was the simplification of logarithms and the algorithm for long division (which is still used). In 1619 he was appointed Savilian Professor of Geometry at the University of Oxford, and produced this work in 1620. Irrelevant, but still interesting, is that he was the originator of the erroneous notion of California as an Island, which he expounded in a tract on the Northwest Passage printed in 1622, with a map showing the island, and oft re-printed after. *Sir Lucius O'Brien. (1731-1795). Irish baronet, Greek and Latin scholar, Member of Parliament and privy councillor. .‎

‎Rare first edition of George Fournier's work on Euclid's Element. “Some of the benefits of the smaller format adopted by Clavius’s edition were negated by the length of the text, and the next phase of Euclidean publication during the seventeenth century saw the rapid adoption of smaller formats, culminating in a number of tiny duodecimo issues such as the 1644 Paris edition of Georges Fournier, later reprinted in Cambridge. (In note:) Issued as a duodecimo in Paris in 1644 and 1654, and in London in 1654 and 1665.” (Anja-Silvia Goeing, Early Modern Universities: Networks of Higher Learning). Georges Fournier, a French Jesuit priest, geographer and mathematician, served as a naval military chaplain on a ship of the line, and acquired a strong knowledge of technical and naval matters. In 1642, he published the treaty Hydrographie, where he attempted to provide a scientific foundation to the design of ships. He also authored a Treaty of fortifications or military architecture, drawn from the most estimated places of our times, for fortifications, whose original edition was published in Paris in 1649 by Jean Hénault at the Salle Dauphine of l'ange gardien. Another edition was published in 1668 in Mayence by Louis Bourgeat. His works on Euclidean geometry (Paris, 1644 and 1654) were translated into English, and gave rise to three successive editions.Georges Fournier taught René Descartes.Steck IV, p. 100. ‎
