Cfr. Berlin Katalog,I,1791 - Pggendorff,I,1438 - Brunet,III,1033 che del Theatrum machinarum generale precisa: le plus considérable ouvrage qu'on eut alors sur la mécanique - Graesse,IV,188. Jacob Leupold, ingegnere meccanico (Planitz 1674 - Lipsia 1727), fin da giovane dimostrò un gusto appassionato per il disegno delle macchine; aprì a Lipsia (1699) una officina meccanica e costruì una pompa d'aria, della quale fornì molti esemplari ai laboratori dell'epoca; ideò una macchina a vapore più semplice di quella di Papin, e perfezionò molti strumenti di fisica. Fu nominato dall'elettore di Sassonia commissario per le miniere e fu corrispondente dell'Accademia delle Scienze di Berlino. Pubblicò a Lipsia il "Theatrum machinarum generale" (1723-27) che contiene una completa esposizione di tutta la tecnica meccanica e idraulica del suo tempo, in 7 volumi + un volume di supplemento che uscì nel 1739 per conto di J.E. Scheffler.Nel 1735 Johann Matthias Beyer dette alle stampe il Teatro dell'architettura dei mulini, in 2 parti, pubblicato dopo la morte di Leupold, che costituisce il nono volume dell'enciclopedico Theatrum Machinarum. Così Diz. Treccani,VI, p. 840.Solo una tav. con manc. margin., altrimenti fresco e bell'esemplare.Importante è la provenienza di questo volume: al risguardo figura l'ex libris di Carl Friedrich Gebhard Graf von der Schulenburg (1763 - 1818). Durante l' Ancien Régime fu alto funzionario di corte nel Principato di Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel; nel Regno di Westfalia fu Presidente degli Stati Imperiali e nel Ducato di Brunswick fu un politico di primo piano.Al frontesp. timbro di Gotthard Sachsenberg.‎

‎The scarce first edition of the of the eighth and tenth volumes (each volume being a complete work in itself) of Leupold's magnificent ten-volume ""Theatrum Machinarum"" - one of the first encyclopedias of technology, being the most complete and the most extensively illustrated work on mechanical engineering published hitherto. Complete sets of Leupold's Theatrum are virtually never found and Ferguson stated in his bibliography of technology that he had never seen a complete set. Each volume is complete in itself. The eighth volume is of particular interest in the history of computers, as it deals mainly with calculating machines. This volume contains detailed descriptions of the calculating machines of Schott (1668), Grillet (1673), Leibniz (1674), Poleni (1709), and Leupold himself. The tenth volume is a supplement to the series published after Leupold's death by Ernst Scheffler. It deals with odometers, gyrometers, step counters and other devices for the measurement of distances. This volume is furthermore of importance, because it contains the 90 page general index to the entire series.

‎.: Leipzig, gedruckt bey Christopf Zunkel, 1726, in-folio, 36 x 23,5 cm, (xvi) nn pp + 153 pp + (5) nn pp + 60 full page engraved plates, numbered I-LVII, IIA, XVIA and XLA, bound in contemporary half vellum with marbled boards, edges painted red, plates tipped on with a small inner margin to full blank pages so that when consulting the text the plate can be folded out. Fine copy allthough due to the paper quality there is some slight browing and foxing at some pages, a tear in the vellum at the top of the spine, and a tear in plate XXI have been repaired. Traces of a removed ex-libris at the first paste down. Leupold's treatise is the most comprehensive of all the early bridge books and the first to be published in Germany. It covers masonry, pontoons, floating and military bridges but is is especially interesting for its description of long-span timber bridges. This is the first edition, it was reprinted in 1774. (see item 87 in catalogue 14 of Elton Engineering books).‎
