Internally some lighter brownspotting. � First edition of Schwerd's seminal paper on the diffraction from the fundamental laws of wave theory.<br>F. M. Schwerd a pioneer of the early Fraunhofer diffraction studied the intensity diffraction pattern of a circular aperture also known as Airy disc.<br><br>Schwerd's theory presented in the present paper was highly influential. Max Von Laue who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1914 for his discovery of the diffraction of X-rays by crystals wrote in his autobiography: "Only shortly before this when writing an article for Enzyklopaedie der mathematischen Wissenschaften I had given the old theory of diffraction by an optical grating which went back to Schwerd 1835 a new formulation in order that by applying the equation of the theory twice over the theory of diffraction by a cross-grating could be obtained. I had only to write out this equation three times corresponding to the three periodicities of a space lattice so as to obtain the interpretation of the new discovery". Max von Laue.<br><br>Even though Schwerd published many articles and teaching books for high school non can be measured in importance with the present work. Since Fresnel had reduced the interference of transverse vibrations in the first quarter of the 19. century nothing of importance was published until Schwerd theoretically described the colour phenomenon when light is being deflected by obstacles from their straight path and brought to mutual interference. <br><br>"Schwerd though not well known to modern students has had a great influence on optics through his monumental book on diffraction . Die Beugungserscheinungen which he wrote in two years' spare time is the classic comprehensive treatise on Fraunhofer diffraction . Fraunhofer gave the laws which follow from his experiments but neither he nor J. F. W. Herschel developed the theory. This was done first by Schwerd and was viewed as a great triumph for wave theory over the emission theory of light. Hoover Richard B. and Franklin S.

‎SIBTU'L-MARDINÎ [BADR AL-DÎN MUHAMMAD B. MUHAMMAD B. AHMAD AL-MARDÎNÎ], (Egyptian mathematics and astronomy scholar), (1423-1493).‎

‎[ASTRONOMY - MATHEMATICS - ARABIC MANUSCRIPT: JAYB & MUQANTARÂT; SINUS & ALMUCANTAR QUADRANT] Hadhâ risâle-i rüb'u mukantarât, Hadhâ risâle-i cenûb taraf, Hadha mukharrar latashich al-shaat fî taraf al-cayb min al-rub'u' mu'âl-ihtizâr.‎

‎Very Good Arabic Original manuscript without binding. 12mo. (16 x 11 cm). In Arabic. [40] p., drawings, and tables. Marginal texts additionally. A linear wormhole on the bottom from beginning to the end, the thread in the spine is broken hence two separate parts. Otherwise a good copy. Rare manuscript compiled from works related to astronomical instruments written by probably Sibtu'l-Mardînî, copied anonymously in the early 19th century on the paper with 'ahar' with four marginal drawings and tables. The copier of this manuscript is not described. An 'Ebced' notes on the last blank page. The manuscript starts with a calendar in the Islamic system which is prepared with red and black inks and annotated info around the table. The first part includes how to use an almucantar, directions on the sphere, location of the stars in the sky. On the last two pages, the author describes the preparation of an almucantar. The second part is titled "Hadhâ risâle-i cenûb tarafi" [i.e. Tractate on the South direction], and the third and last part titled " Hadhâ risâle-i cenûb taraf, Hadha mukharrar latashich al-shaat fî taraf al-cayb min al-rub'u' mu'âl-ihtizâr", includes some 'sinus mathematics' with two impressive tables on the opposite page. Sibt al-Maridini, the full name Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn al-Ghazal (1423-1493), was an Egyptian-born astronomer and mathematician. His father came from Damascus. The word "Sibt al-Maridini" means "the son of Al-Mardini's daughter". His maternal grandfather, Abdullah al-Mardini, was a reputed astronomer of the eighth century AH. He was a disciple of the astronomer Ibn al-Majdi (d. 850/1506). Sibt al-Mardini taught mathematics and astronomy in the Great Mosque of al-Azhar, Cairo. He was also a timekeeper (muwaqqit) of the mosque. He wrote no fewer than fifty treatises in astronomy (sine quadrants, sundials, astronomical tables, and prayer times) and wrote at least twenty-three mathematics textbooks. Al-Sakhawy counted two hundred books that were written by Sibt al-Mardini, on Islamic law, astronomy, and mathematics. Libraries that specialize in ancient manuscripts, all over the world, have transcripts of his works. Sibt al-Mardini's declared that "the opinion of the muezzins (those who call people to prayer) is less correct than that of the legal scholars and it is the latter that should be used as the basis for the determination of prayer time". (Wikipedia). Sib? al-Maridini was a prolific author of astronomical texts, which were still being used and studied into the 19th century. Little is known with certainty about his life. It is thought that he grew up in Damascus, where his maternal grandfather, Abd Allâh ibn Khalîl ibn Yûsuf Jamâl al-Dîn al-Mâridînî (died: 1406), was the muwaqqit (timekeeper) in charge of regulating the daily rituals of the Islamic community) of the Umayyad Mosque. Later he traveled to Cairo, where tradition places him as a student of Ibn al-Majdî. Sib? al-Mâridînî wrote extensively on mathematics and mathematical astronomy. Like his grandfather, he was especially interested in astronomical instruments. The bio-bibliographical sources list some 25 treatises, many of which exist today in multiple copies. According to the historian al-Jabarti (died: 1822), Sib? al-Mâridînî's works on mîqât (ritual timekeeping) and astronomical instruments were still being studied in the curriculum of Cairo's al-Azhar, one of the preeminent educational institutions in the Islamic world, at about the beginning of the 19th century.

‎SIMON (Jules).‎

‎L’Ecole.‎

‎Paris. Librairie internationale. A. Lacroix, Verboeckhoven & Cie. Même maison à Bruxelles, à Leipzig et à Livourne. 1865. In-8 de (2) ff., 431 pp. : demi chagrin chocolat, dos à nerfs, initiales E. B. en pied (reliure de l’époque).‎

‎Edition originale, reliées en tête une lettre autographe signée de Jules Simon (3 pages in-12) et une planche pliée en deux, lithographiée en couleurs, figurant une caricature de Jules Simon à “l’Institution Pet-de-Loup”. Jules Simon (1814-1896) ancien élève de l’école normale, député, ministre de l’instruction publique en 1870, sénateur, académicien, président du Conseil, fut un partisan de l’enseignement primaire obligatoire et s’attira les foudres du clergé et de Mgr Dupanloup. Il ne soutint, cependant pas la politique anticléricale de Jules Ferry. Sa lettre résume quelques unes de ses idées sur l’école primaire : peu d’élèves dans les classes, école proches, “une école ne vaut que par la valeur du maître, et pour avoir un bon maître, il faut pouvoir le bien payer”, catholiques ou libéraux peu importe du moment qu’ils œuvrent pour l’école, favoriser les parents dont les enfants fréquentent l’école assidûment... Ouvrage primordial dans l’évolution de l’instruction primaire en France. Cachet humide de la collection du château de Montfleury. Rousseurs. Vicaire VII, 546.‎
