‎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.

Light browning to first and last leaf. 6 last leaves with a faint dampstain. Very light browning to outher margins. Otherwise a fine clean copy.‎

‎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. The translation by Tartaglia was first published 1543 and was founded on the latin edition of Campanus and Zambetti.Niccolo Fontana 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'. 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.""

‎"HERO (HERON) OF ALEXANDRIA.‎

‎Spiritalium liber. A Federico Commandino Urbinate, ex Graeco, nuper in Latinum conversis. Cum Privilegio Gregorij XIII. Pont. Max. - [THE FOUNDATION OF HYDRAULICS]‎

‎Urbini, (D. Frisolini), 1575. Small 4to. Fine recent full vellum in old style with written title on back. Titlepage + 80 leaves (title unnumb. + F 1-80 with 4 leaves misnumb., e.g. F70 instead of 80). The dedicationleaf (unnumb.) after title missing. Text complete, fine and clean with broad margins. One large initial in woodcut and 89 large textillustrations in woodcut.‎

‎First edition of Heron's main work, being his first publication. The work stimulated and contributed substantially to the interest in pneumatics that arose suddenly in the late 16th century and led to the work of Toricelli and Boyle. The ""Pneumatics"" was not published in Greek until 1693. It is one of the major sources to our knowledge of the techniques and mechanics of Antiquity, and the many hydraulic and mechanical inventions by Hero are here depicted for the first time in print. The work includes studies of pneumatics and mechanics and include 89 illustrations of different inventions, such as siphons, fountains, engines, an account of a small stationary steam-engine (which is of the form now known as Avery's patent, the double-force pump etc., which ""by the union of (compressed) air, earth, fire, and water, and the concurrence of...elementary principles..., supply the most pressing wants of the human life, (or) produce amazement and alarm."" The book describes many gadgets and magical tricks and includes the first suggestion of a steam engine (see f. 52). - Sarton, Introduction...Vol. I pp. 208 ff. - Adams H:369 - Poggendorff I: 1084.‎

‎"PAPPUS (PAPPOS) of ALEXANDRIA.‎

‎Pappi Alexandrini Mathematicae Collectione. A Federico Commandino Urbinatae In Latinum Conversae, & Commentarijs Illustratae. - [THE CULMINATION OF GREEK MATHEMATICS]‎

‎First edition of a work which constitutes the culmination of Greek Mathematics. This copy has the fresh title, but is the 1588-printing. - ""Pappos was the greatest mathematician of the final period of ancient science, and no one emulated him in Byzantine times. He was the last mathematical giant of antiquity."" (George Sarton, Ancient Science and Modern Civilization. p.82).""Pappus of Alexandria in ab. 320 composed a work with the title Collection (Synagoge) which is important for several reasons. In the first place it provides a most valuable historical record of parts of Greek Mathematics that otherwise would be unknown to us. For instance it is in Book V of the Collection that we learn of Archimedes' discovery of the thirteen semiregular polyhedra or ""Archimedian solids"". Then, too, the Collection includes alternative proofs and supplementary lemmas for propositions in Euclid, Archimedes, Appolonius and Ptolemy. Finally, the treatise includes new discoveries, and generalizations not found in any earlier work. The Collection, Pappus' most important treatise, contained eight Books, but the first Book and the first part of the second Book are now lost"" (Boyer, A History of Mathematics p. 205). ""Each book (8) is preceded by general reflexions which give to that group of problems its philosophical and historical setting. The prefaces are of deep interest to historians of mathematics and, therefore, it is a great pity that three of them are lost [...] Book VII is far the longest book of the Collection [...] [and here], we find in it the famous Pappo's problem: ""given several straight lines in a plane, to find the locus point, such that when straight lines are drawn from it to the given lines at a given angle, the products of certain of the segments shall be in a given ratio to the product of the remaining ones"". This problem is important in itself, but even so because it exercized Descartes' mind and caused him to invent the method of coordinates explained in his Geométrie (1637). Think of a seed lying asleep for more than thirteen centuries and then helping to produce that magnificent flowering, analytical geometry [...] The final Book VIII is mechanical and is largely derived from Heron of Alexandria. Following Heron, Pappos distinguished various parts of theoretical mechanics (geometry, arithmetic, astronomy and physics). The Book is considered the climax of Greek mechanics and helps us to realize the great variety of problems to which the Hellenistic mechanicians addressed themselves. If Book VIII is the climax of Greek mechanics, we may say as well that the whole collection is a treasury and to some extent the culmination of Greek mathematics. [...] The ideas collected or invented by Pappos did not stimulate Western mathematicians until very late, but when they finally did, they caused the birth of modern mathematics- analytical geometry, projective geometry, centrobaric method. That birth or rebirth from Pappos' ashes, occurred within four years (1637-40). This was modern geometry connected immediately with the ancient one as if nothing had happened between."" (Georg Sarton op.cit.). - It is from Pappus we have the famous words of Archimedes: ""Give me a place to stand, and I will move the earth"" (Se PMM No 72). - ""Without pretending to great originality, the whole work shows, on the part of the author, a thorough grasp of all the subjects treated, independent of judgement, mastery of technique" the style is terse and clear" in short, Pappus stands out as an accomplished and versatile mathematician, a worthy representative of the classical Greek geometry."" (Heath, A History of Greek mathematics Vol. II: p.358). - Adams P 224 (The sheets of the Pisauris edition with a fresh title).‎
