1579rif. B6621A Lyon: Par Barthelemy Vincent M.D. LXXIX. 1579. . A near fine example reinforcement on margin of leaf B4. Plates are clean and crisp. Binding: Full embossed cotemporary pigskin with central medallion; spine expertly rebacked saving the original with six 6 raised bands gilt lettered title on Morocco label on two; all edges sprinkled red. Notes: Text in Middle French. Second French edition after its first of 1578; first Lyon French edition with commentaries to illustrations by Beroald de Verville. "In 1578 after the death of Besson c. 1572 the Theater of Mathematical and Mechanical Instruments was published in Geneva a work in which we note an evolution in turning techniques with the appearance of the first mandrels and first fixed glasses. Other Geneva editions will follow in French Latin Italian German and finally Spanish until 1602. in rue de la Harpe opposite Saint-Cosme presented twenty-one models of machines eleven of which were executed from the plates of Jacques Besson. … The work belongs to … a genre consisting of presenting series of engravings of instruments and machines often newly invented. These printed writings are used by the inventors in order to protect their invention and to guarantee their right in an irrefutable way. These printed ‘machine’ books appeared in France at the end of the 16th century when the formation of the intermediate class of technicians crystallized grouped together today under the name of engineers. These engineers first appeared in Italy in the 15th century then in Germany and finally in France. … Besson's book which is unanimously considered to be the first true "machine theatre" marks a break with its passage to print. There are sixty figures in all each occupying a full page. Each engraving is accompanied by a legend indicating the manner of construction and its function. … Besson presents four major series of machines: machines for raising water mills cranes and winches. He often suggests ways to multiply the force in order to be able to replace two or three workers with one." “When King Charles IX of France made a royal visit to Orléans in 1569 Besson presented to the King a draft of his new treatise what was to become the Theatrum Instrumentorum. and returned with him to Paris as "master of the King's Engines". Charles gave Besson exclusive rights to his designs in that same year. While employed by the court Besson also created an ingenious screw-cutting lathe that was semi-automatic in that the operator only needed to pull and release a cord. … Besson's Theatrum Instrumentorum Theater of Machines was completed and published in 1571 or 1572. It was a unique work; previously works on engineering and technology such as Valturio's De re militari 1472 Biringuccio's Pirotechnia 1540 and Agricola's De re metallica 1556 had had only limited descriptions of new inventions or recounted inventions of the past without much detail. In contrast Besson's work was a collection of his own new inventions with detailed illustrations of each engraved by Jacques Androuet du Cerceau to his specifications. Some of his designs suggested important improvements to lathes and the waterwheel. The Latin captions to the highly detailed drawings were sparse however which would seem to indicate that the text was probably produced in a hurry. Even the title page does not give the name of the printer or the date of publication. The rush in publishing the book may have been due to the crackdown on French Protestants that culminated in the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre of 1572. … Although Besson was favoured by King Charles IX he feared the increasing anti-Protestant sentiment in France and emigrated to England shortly after the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre of 1572 where he died in 1573. … The Theatrum Instrumentorum had proved so popular that a second edition appeared in 1578 with more detailed descriptions of the instruments and machines by François Béroalde de Verville. The copper plates from the original edition were reused except for four which were replaced by new engravings produced by René Boyvin.” Size: Folio 342x238mm. Illustration: Illustrated allegorical wood engraved title; large ornamental and floral woodcut initials head- and tailpieces; moreover sixty 60 insert wood engraved plates depicting mathematical and mechanical instruments and inventions.

1566rif. B6630Bononiae /Bologna: Alexandri or Alexander or Alessandro Benatii or Benatius or Benacci publisher c. 1566. . Edition: First Commandino edition. Binding: 17th century mottled calf; spine raised with six 6 bands compartments gilt gilt lettered title on two; all edges speckled red. Notes: First edition by Commandino. David Clement judges this edition of the first four books bound with the two books of Sereni on cones and cylinders to be extremely rare. Also footnote 32 states: in Bibliotheca Uilenbroukiana P.I. p. 55. Catal. duarum Bibliothecaruin Dom. N. B. & D. L. Hagae - Com. ap. Beauregard 1747. in 8vo. p. 9 Vogt Libror. rarior. p. 40. describes this Commandin edition surpassing that of Jean-Baptiste Memmius which was printed in Venice in 1537. It quotes Fabricius’ statement in the Bibliotheca Graeca about Memmius or Memus not having understood the subject at hand translated from a basically wanting manuscript with manifold thereby rendering his version weak. It also mentions that this didn’t mean Commandin’s was fault-free remaring the Greek manuscript he had drawn on was filled with failts. Concerning Apollonius’s work Koudela states” Interest in ancient Greek knowledge increased gradually in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries especially in Italy the leading country of Europe's culture and science of the time. Latin translations of Greek works on conic sections and other curves - Apollonius and Pappus in particular - appeared in several editions. Although some original works were also published in the sixteenth century no significant progress in the study of conic sections had been made until the work of Kepler. His contribution influenced the further development of projective geometry and can be regarded as the transition from ancient to modern geometry. The spread of Greek knowledge in the Renaissance The invention of conic sections is attributed to Menaechmus 4th cent. BC a member of Plato's Academy at Athens. Various species of conic sections were obtained by truncating an acute-angled right-angled and obtuse-angled cone by a plane perpendicular to the generator of the cone. Conic sections were also investigated by Aristaeus the Elder 4th cent. BC and by Euclid c. 325 - c. 265 BC. Their works on this subject are now lost. The works of Archimedes 287 - 212 BC contain some important results concerning the properties of conic sections especially parabolas. The greatest ancient writer on conic sections was Apollonius of Perga c. 262 - c. 190 BC. His famous work Conics consisted of eight books and contained 487 propositions. Apollonius introduced the terms ellipse parabola and hyperbola and showed that various sections of the cone can be obtained by varying the inclination of the intersecting plane. Among other ancient authors dealing with conic sections we should mention Pappus of Alexandria c. 290 - c. 350 AD the last of great Greek geometers. His main work known as Collection is valuable - among other things - because it provides an account and comments on the results obtained by his predecessors. Pappus introduced the notion of the focus and the directrix of a hyperbola Kline 1990 p. 128 . Apollonius’ work influenced the greatest scholars of the modern era such as Descartes and Newton. The Latin translation of the first four books of Apollonius by Gianbattista Memo appeared in Venice in 1537. The present edition of Apollonius’ Conics of the sixteenth century is based on the translation and important new edits by Federico Commandino 1506-1575 who published “classical Greek mathematical texts under the auspices of the Duke of Urbino.” Horblit: “The most influential early edition of this highly important text entirely superceding Memmo’s version of 1537”. Other sources state that in total the Conics consist of 387 not 487 propositions published in seven books with the eighth book remaining unconfirmed.

Very beautiful and rare work edited by Alfonso Borelli is the first edition of books V VI and VII of the Conicorum of Apollonius.

Apollonius’ work influenced the work of great scholars such as Descartes and Newton. A Latin translation of Conicorum’s first four books appeared in Venice in 1537 and it was not until 1661 for the present work - Conicorum’s books V to VII - to be published; the present work constitutes the most innovative or original part of the work of Apollonius. Translated from the Arabic manuscript of Abu'l Fath of Isphahan c. 1190 - c. 1245 purchased by the Medici’s during the first half of the 17th century the text of had survived only in the Arabic language. Norman states: “This was a valuable addition to the mathematical knowledge of the time for whereas Books I-IV of the Conics dealt with information already known to Apollonius’s predecessors Books V-VII were largely original. Book V discusses normals to conics and contains Apollonius’s proof for the construction of the evolute curve; Book VI treats congruent and similar conics and segments of conics; Book VII is concerned with propositions about inequalities between various functions of conjugate diameters”. Cajori states: “The fifth book reveals better than any other the giant intellect of its author. Difficult questions of maxima and minima of which few examples are found in earlier works are here treated most exhaustively. The subject investigated is to find the longest and shortest lines that can be drawn from a given point to a conic. Here are also found the germs of the subject of evolutes and centres of osculation.” Cajori A history of mathematics 40; Brunet I: 347; D.B.I.
