1785ref. 44970Paris Moutard 1785. 4to. Extracted from "Mémoires fe Mathematique et de Physique Présentés à l'Academie des Sciences par divers Savans" Tome X. Pp. 511-550 a. 2 folded engraved plates. Clean and fine. First appearance of this importent paper by the "greatest geometer of the century" in which he solves some main problems in coordinate geometry especially he introduced the "distant formula" for three dimensions years before it was used by Lagrange. He laid the foundation of a completely new branch of mathematics known as descriptive geometry. The paper was delivered already in 1771 but not published until 1785. "His first important original work was "Memoire sur les développées les rayons de courbure et différents genres d inflexions des courbes á double courbure" He published an extract from it in June 1769 in the Journal encycyclop´matiques and in October 1770 he finished a more complete version that he read before the Academie des Sciences in August 1771; the latter however was not published until 1785 Mémoires de mathématiques et de physique présentés á ’Academic par divers scavanns. By then some of the most important ideas in the memoir no longer seemed so original because Monge had employed them in other works published in the intervening years. Nevertheless this memoir is of exceptional interest for it presents most of the new conceptions that Monge developed in his later works as well as his very personal method of exposition which combined pure geometry analytic geometry and infinitesimal calculus."DSB. unknown

Last printed edition of this milestone in the history of mathematic The Scala Grmaldelli is a work of outstanding importance in the history of mathematics and more than any other work influenced the teaching of this science in the sixteenth century. The book deals with commercial arithmetic treatment of roots the rule of false position algebra and a section on practical geometry. At leaf d2 recto Feliciano illustrates the method of multiplication "Per Crocetta" one of several methods that were in use in the Italian Renaissance. It is noteworthy in the part dealing with practical geometry the constant use of the "Squadro Geometrico" geometric square which appears to have been practiced in Italy since the XV century. The Scala Grimaldelli when first published was the first book describing the use of the Surveyor's Cross a simple instrument made of two bars forming a right-angled cross with sights at each end and used in setting out right angles in surveying an innovative tool at a time when long distances were often merely estimated by sight. The book was so important in the teaching of elementary mathematics that he was reprintd in numerous editions including this last one in 1669 143 years after the original edition. "Few books had greater influence on the subsequent teaching of elementary mathematics" Smith. The symbology expressed in the title is fascinating: just as you need a ladder to attack a fortress and a lockpick to open a lock in the same way to approach complex mathematics you need this book.<!--endif--> Francesco Feliciano was a mathematician of Lazesio Veronese who lived in the second half of the century. XV and in the first quarter of the XVI. He published in 1517 Libro di abbaco printed in several editions but he is best known for the book of arithmetic and speculative and practical geometry described here: Scala Grimaldelli 1526 whose subsequent editions reached the end of the XVII century. This important treatise disseminated outside Italy the ideas the notions and the methods in the field of arithmetic geometry algebra and their applications that were first exposed by Leonardo Pisano and then cultivated in italian schools. Conditions: this book was meant to be heavily used so it's rare find a copy in good condition as despite few marls of use this copy in its original binding can be defined. Provenance: I.

Seconda edizione, la prima del 1538, le Lucubrationes dell’umanista fiammingo rappresentano un’opera “enciclopedica” nel senso che raccolgono trattati nei diversi campi del sapere, di particolare interesse la sezione scientifica dedicata all’ottica, alla prospettiva, astronomia, geometria e matematica, anche per le molte illustrazioni. Sembra le la parola “enciclopedi” si trovi per la prima volta proprio sul frontespizio di quest’opera, sotto la forma di kiklopedia.
