‎First edition of Tschirnhaus' ""Tschirnhaus Tranformation"".Tschirnhaus work intensively on finding a general method for solving equations of higher of higher degree. ""His transformations constituted the most promising contribution to the solution of equations during the seventeenth century"" but his elimination of the second and third coefficients by means of such transformation was far from adequate for the solution of the quintic.(Boyer. A History of Mathematics, 1968, 472 p.).Tschirnhaus (1651-1708) , a Saxon nobleman, had as wide interest as acquaintances: He studied in Leyden, served in the Dutch army, visited England and Paris several times. He set up a glassworks in Italy and is said to have introduced Porcelain to Europe. He wrote about philosophy and mathematics and was a close friend of Leibniz.""In mathematics, a Tschirnhaus transformation, also known as Tschirnhausen transformation, is a type of mapping on polynomials developed by Ehrenfried Walther von Tschirnhaus in 1683. It may be defined conveniently by means of field theory, as the transformation on minimal polynomials implied by a different choice of primitive element. This is the most general transformation of an irreducible polynomial that takes a root to some rational function applied to that root.""(Wikipedia).Parkinson ""Breakthroughs 1683 M.‎

‎Firenze, Lorenzo de Morgiani and Giovanni Thedesco da Maganza, 1491. 8vo. Leaves loosely inserted in a later full vellum binding with four raised bands, preserved in cloth clamshell box. Several loose leaves. Several leaves closely shaved, some with minor loss of text, all with loss of signatures. 83 ff. (out of 104 ff).‎

‎Rare first edition of the first illustrated Italian book on arithmetic, also constituting one of the first inexpensive illustrated textbooks making it available to many more students than earlier teaching materials. The woodcuts, which range from ornamental classicizing borders framing multiplication tables to lively depictions of people and animals that illustrate word problems, are exquisite examples of the flowering of Florentine woodcut illustration in the 1490s.Two variant issues were published simultaneously: One by Lorenzo Morgiani and Giovanni Petri, 1 january 1491/92 and the present by Lorenzo de Morgiani and Giovanni Thedesco da Maganza, 1491. Priority of issue has not been established (Hain, Smith, BM-Ital., De Morgan and Tomash & William quote this variant as the first), but there can be no doubt this present variant by far is the rarest. Calandri here gives the leading rules for integers and for lire, soldi and denari, and likewise puts division down in examples. Calandri is the first to give long divisons in the modern form, known to the Italian writers by the name ""a danda"". ""Indeed Calandri gives only the 'a danda' method, omitting the galley forms, and is therefore fully a century ahead of his time."" (David E. Smith). - In Augustus de Morgan's bibliography: Arithmetical Books from the Invention of Printing to the Present Time, 1847, Calandri's Arithmetic is listed as the first.
