Giacomo Hertz 1669. 4to 188 x 120 mm contemporary paper board handwrtten titles at front board in sepia ink pp. 8 240 printer device with Galleon at title page xylographic head-letters head-pieces and end-pieces. 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.

1955ref. 6710New York: Robert S. Beard 1955. 14 Posters/Blueprints 12 are printed in white on blueprint paper and 2 are printed in black on white paper generally 13x19." One is trimmed along top edge few others with fading and corner wear. generally very good. Ownership signature and address of Margaret Sutton on verso of one manuscript sketch of parallel lines on another. Robert S. Beard's stamp appears on the verso of another and few have manuscript captions or corrections on the front. Beautiful and intriguing set of designs owned by New York artist Margaret Sutton 1905-1990 who had a long and varied career in engineering art and design. These blueprints were created by an interesting figure in his own right Col. Robert S. Beard 1883-1974 author of many articles and a book Patterns in Space 1973 on aspects of geometric design. The influence of Beard's work is seen in a wide variety of disciplines from mathematics and cosmology to art and economics. His designs made a great impact on American mathematician Magnus Wenninger who wrote the first book on constructing polyhedron models. Dr. Jerome Baumring of the Institute of Cosmological Economics who is said to be the first known person to crack the complete esoteric trading system of W.D. Gann cites Beard's book as "one of the greatest cosmological treatises ever written." Patterns in Space is also listed alongside books by Mandelbrot in the study of fractals. Margaret Sutton likely became acquainted with Beard's works in the New York arts scene Beard teaching at Yeshiva University and Sutton receiving degrees at Columbia University where a set of Beard's models were on permanent display as of the publishing of his book in 1973. Included in this set are: The Golden Rectangle The Pentacle The Nesting Squares; Key of the Cosmos and Numbers; The Five Pointed Star series of 2; The Value of 2π; Patterns for Segments of Cubes; The Rhombic Dodecahedron; Patterns for the Honeycomb Dodecahedron; Seven Polyhedron Families Having 5" Cube Members; Table showing Face Polygons and Solids trimmed; Geometrical Construction for Regular Polygons; and Drawing the Polygons series of 3. What is so fascinating about this set is it shows a clear influence on Sutton's career and artistic trajectories. After taking drafting and engineering classes at Columbia she worked for Grumman Aircraft and then as a technical illustrator for the Merganthaler Linotype Company. She studied art at the Arts Students League likely with George Grosz and with Hans Hofmann at his school. She completed some 4000 paintings and drawings in her lifetime. In 1993 her friend and partner painter Alfred Levitt gave her body of work to the University of Mary Washington where it is now on display. The online exhibition from 2020 Margaret's Menagerie: The Animal Imagery of Margaret Sutton gives a good look at her varied works many of which use geometric patterns lines and shapes often in combination with her other love of animals and nature. The final photo in this listing is one of Sutton's works for reference not included in the sale. As of cataloguing we have not been able to locate any Beard designs elsewhere other than those mentioned in the preface of his book at Columbia and Berkeley. This set is a trove of beautiful design that blurs the lines between art and math showcasing the career path of a woman artist of the Greenwich Village scene who should be more well known. .
