Condition: Good. THE FIRST MODERN TREATISE ON OPTICS PRINTED IN FRANCE 4to (199x139 mm). 25, [1 blank] leaves. Collation: A-E4 F6. The final leaf F6 is a blank. Roman and italic types. With several woodcut diagrams and illustrations in text. Modern stiff vellum. Some pale foxing and browning, but a good copy. Rare first edition of this treatise on burning glasses or concave mirrors, which includes mathematical analysis and methods of their construction. Such mirrors were used in metallurgy and in assaying. The edition is dedicated by the author to the English ambassador to France, Sir John Mason (dated Paris, October 1551). The dedication is followed by a poem by Antoine Mizault in praise of the work. As evidenced by a partial manuscript version of the treatise (Bibliothèque Nationale, Ms Lat. 7415, 10-17), which predates the printed edition by three years, the De speculo ustorio had in fact already been completed around 1548. The reason why Fine waited another three years before publishing it remains a mystery. The date of the manuscript, however, rules out any possibility that Fine's work was derived from that of Antonius Gogava, a mathematician in the circle of Gemma Frisius, who published a treatise on burning mirrors in Leuven in 1548 as an appendix to an edition of Ptolemy's Tetrabiblos that he had edited. On that occasion, Gogava also published Alhazen's De speculis comburentibus and a treatise of uncertain authorship (Speculi almukesi compositio) datable between 1250 and 1350, which Gogava attributes to Roger Bacon, while Fine considers it of Arabic origin; since it had been widely circulated in manuscript form, it is likely that Fine was familiar with the Speculi almukesi compositio (one of his primary sources) well before the printed edition of 1548. The De speculo ustorio consists of two parts: one geometric, dealing with the parabola, and the other, more ?mechanical,? dealing with the construction of a parabolic mirror. Fine also places his mathematical discussion of the parabola within an optical context, setting forth four optical postulates at the beginning of the volume. The inclusion of optics within a work dedicated to burning mirrors, while it may seem obvious today, was by no means so in the mid-sixteenth century. Thanks to an Italian translation, the De speculo ustorio exerted great influence in Italy, especially through the work of Giovanni Battista della Porta, who drew heavily on Fine's treatise. ?Oronce Fine set out to revive mathematics in Renaissance France, specifically in the curriculum at the Collège de France. De Speculo Ustorio and other books were his effort to provide the necessary awareness of mathematic and provide students textbooks. This is the origin of and intention for his textbook on mathematical optics and parabolic burring mirrors, which included mathematical analyses and methods of construction. As Fine stats in the preface, his most important optical source for De Speculo Ustorio was Witelo's Perspectiva. Though Fine likely had access to the Perspectiva's printing in 1535, it is known that he worked from a manuscript copy before the 1535 printing. His other optical source was an edited version of Alhazen's De Speculis Comburentibus which had been printed in 1548. Fine's parabolic geometry comes from Georgius Valla's De Expetendis et Fugiendis Rebus Opus of 1501 and from Johann Werner's Libellus of 1522. Though not of original material, the De Speculo Ustorio was a carefully crafted compilation of sections of select texts, comprising a much-need textbook on catoptrics. It was the first such book printed in France and like his other books was widely popular, esteemed for its careful presentation, straightforward Latin, and the excellence of its figures. De Speculo Ustorio, along with several other of his books, became widely used throughout Europe at universities in need of up-to-date textbooks. In this, Fine took advantage not only of his knowledge of optics and geometry, but also of the need and.…

The Field Museum was the outgrowth of the Colombian Exhibition with Skiff as first director. Hoover was a member of the first graduating class from Stanford, "Bert" received an A.B. in Geology in 1895 under John Casper Branner (to whom the translation is dedicated). In his senior year Lou Henry, also from Iowa, enrolled as a freshman. As the first woman, she received the first A.B. in Geology in 1898 from Stanford awarded to a woman. They were married in 1899. Over a five year period they labored to produce this translation for which they received the 1914 Gold Metal from The Mining and Metallurgical Society. Hoover worked as a Geologist prior to his term as 31st American President 1929-33. The work is regarded as the greatest scientific contribution ever made by an American President. (PMM).
