Add to basketIn-folio de (12), 210, 1 f. bl., (4) pp., 5 planches dépliantes. Basane brune, dos à nerfs orné. (Reliure de l'époque.). Première édition. Premier tirage avec la page de titre ornée d'une gravure sur cuivre et non d'un fleuron gravé sur bois comme dans le second tirage et les feuillets a2 et e2 avec un ornement gravé sur cuivre en tête. Ce recueil contient la majorité des oeuvres mathématiques de Pierre de Fermat (1601-1665). Elles sont ici publiées pour la première fois. "Après sa mort, les oeuvres et la correspondance que publie son fils Samuel ne représentent qu'une partie de sa production. Mais ce qui nous reste suffit pour classer Fermat au rang des plus grands mathématiciens de tous les temps" (Daumas, Histoire de la science). Les travaux publiés ici sont en latin, mais la plupart de sa correspondance est en français. Exemplaire sans le portrait, comme la plupart des exemplaires, et ceux des bibliothèques Horblit, Honeyman et Norman. Des déchirures sur le feuillet de titre consolidées au verso. Trois planches sont en facsimilé [les planches en regard des pages 134, 144 et 166] ainsi que 3 feuillets [feuillet H3 (p. 61/62), feuillet Dd1 (pp. 209/210), feuillet Ee2 (le dernier feuillet)]. Ces planches et feuillets facsimilés proviennent d'une édition soigneusement exécutée et publiée en 1861. Les photos 13, 14, 19 et 20 montrent des pages en facsimilés. Reliure frottée. Provenance : Monastère de Saint-Sever (Landes) de la congrégation de Saint-Maur (inscription sur le titre de 1702 et sur la tranche de l'ouvrage). Cet exemplaire a donc des défauts, mais son prix est très raisonnable, compte tenu du prix des exemplaires qui se sont vendus ces dernières années. En français dans le texte 115. In-folio de (12), 210, 1 f. bl., (4) pp., 5 planches dépliantes. Basane brune, dos à nerfs orné. (Reliure de l'époque.) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - First edition. First issue with a copper engraving on title - there is a woodcut ornament in 2nd state - and folios a2 and e2 with engraved headpieces. This collections marks the first publication of the majority of Fermat's mathematical papers, as well as his correspondence with Mersenne, Roberval, Pascal, Gassendi, and other contemporary mathematicians. For reasons that are still not clear, Fermat never wrote for publication, but restricted himself to circulating his ideas via letter and manuscript, and insisted on complete anonymity for the few works of his that made it into print during his lifetime." (Norman). "After his death, the works and correspondence published by his son Samuel represent only a part of his output. But what remains is enough to rank Fermat among the greatest mathematicians of all time" (Daumas, Histoire de la science). The works presented here are in Latin, though most of Fermat's correspondence is in French. This copy lacks the portrait, as do the majority of known examples, including those in the Horblit, Honeyman, and Norman collections. Small tears to the title page have been repaired on the verso. Three plates (opposite pp. 134, 144, and 166) and three leaves (H3, pp. 61/62; Dd1, pp. 209/210; Ee2, the final leaf) are supplied in facsimile, taken from a carefully executed edition published in 1861. Photos 13, 14, 19, and 20 show facsimile pages. Binding somewhat rubbed. Provenance: Monastery of Saint-Sever (Landes), Congregation of Saint-Maur (inscriptions on the title page, dated 1702, and on the edge of the book).This copy has some defects, but its price is very reasonable, considering the price of copies sold in recent years. -.
