LANZANI Gius Calligrapher F. Franceschini C. Lenzi Simon Midolle and others
A Collection of Decorated Letters & Numerals with Calligraphic Alphabets and Numerals
not indicated: not indicated 1815. Unbound. Near Fine. Seventeen oblong etched and engraved plates. Sheet size: 16 x 39 cm. Image size to the plate marks: 13 x 32 cm. Sizes vary between 1 and 2 cm. Printed in black on thick sheets of wove paper. Near fine with light soiling to the edges. A very rare collection of elaborately decorated letters and numerals designed and engraved by Gius Lanzani "Incisore Calligrafo" in collaboration with a team of other Italian artists and engravers. The collection consists of three sets. Each decorated letter and numeral features an elaborate allegorical design. Obvious examples include: Adam & Eve the Three Fates the The Seven Deadly Sins for numerals 2 3 and 7; and a Gallows a Lion and the Devil for the letters G L and D. Most however are not easy to decipher. Contemporary situations and events are also depicted both humorous and allegorical such as Waterloo for W. Thus we know that the plates were made sometime after 1815. Stunning calligraphy beautifully designed engraved and printed. Very scarce. OCLC locates no copies. A list with more detailed descriptions of each set is available. not indicated] unknown books

Some toning joints just starting heads a bit chipped. Verso of half-title in volume I bears a few bibliographical notes in pencil. Very good. First edition with half-titles without errata as usual. 314 4; 312 4 pp. 2 vols. 8vo. "Among the most influential scientists in all history" - DSB. "Book I begins with what any attentive observer may see if he will open his eyes to the spectacle of the heavens on a clear night with a view of the whole horizon. Book II . sets out the "real" motions of the planets satellites and comets and gives the dimensions of the solar system. Book III is a verbal précis of the laws of motion as understood in eighteenth-century rational mechanics with special reference to astronomy and hydrostatics. In Book IV Laplace in effect summarized his own work in gravitational mechanics. Much of it consists of simplification of the prefatory sections to the published memoirs. The topics are perturbations in planetary motions the shape of the earth the attraction of spheroids and the rings of Saturn motions of the tides and atmosphere the moons of Jupiter precession and lunar motions. Only Book V contains material that Laplace had not written up in technical form or presupposed. It gives an overview of the history of astronomy and concludes with the speculation since called the nebular hypothesis and another on the nature of the universe in outer space." - DSB.

First edition and a complete set with all the supplements. In this monumental and fundamental astronomical work Laplace -- the "Newton of France" -- codified and developed the theories and achievements of Newton Euler d'Alembert and Lagrange. "Laplace maintained that while all planets revolve round the sun their eccentricities and the inclinations of their orbits to each other will always remain small. He also showed that all these irregularities in movements and positions in the heavens were self-correcting so that the whole solar system appeared to be mechanically stable. He showed that the universe was really a great self-regulating machine and the whole solar system could continue on its existing plan for an immense period of time. This was a long step forward from the Newtonian uncertainties in this respect.Laplace also offered a brilliant explanation of the secular inequalities of the mean motion of the moon about the earth -- a problem which Euler and Lagrange had failed to solve.He also investigated the theory of the tides and calculated from them the mass of the moon."Printing & the Mind of Man 252.
