Add to basketWith numerous illustrations of diagrams in the text. First separate and first Latin edition of "La Géometrie" (second printing overall). Title page in red and black, with printer's device. In 18th century blind-stamped leather, spine with four raised bands. Spine lettered in ink. (4°); (12), 336, (2), [2 blank] p. Descartes' Geo…metria, with brief notes by de Beaune (16011652; French mathematician) and commentary by van Schooten. Frans van Schooten (16151660) was introduced to Descartes in 1632. Their first cooperation is dated a few years later when Descartes asked van Schooten to make the illustrations for "La Géométrie" (1637), the first work to propose the idea of uniting algebra and geometry into a single subject which invented an algebraic geometry called analytic geometry. Van Schooten was one of the earliest and most important people to promote the Cartesian geometry. [Tchemetzine IV, 305., Wolf 196., Honeyman 858.] With: Descartes, René Musicae Compendium. Trajecti ad Rhenum (Utrecht), 1650. Gisberti à Zijll, & Theodori ab Ackersdijck. (4°); 58, [2 blank] p. First edition of Descartes' only work on music. Printer's device on title page, with numerous woodcut illustrations of diagrams, figures and sheet music. Descartes wrote this study on music in 1618 but it was first published only after a year of his death. During his service in the army Descartes met Isaak Beeckman (15881637) the Dutch philosopher and scientist who introduced him into problems in mechanics and acoustics. The result of their meeting was this eassay "Musicae Compendium", a treatise on music and a study in methodology. The German music theorist Hugo Riemann declared this work to be "among the ablest musical writings of its time". [MGG III, 209.] With: Descartes, René Epistola Renati Des Cartes ad celeberrimum Virum D. Gisbertum Voetium in qua examinatur duo libri, nuper pro Voetio Ultajecti simul editi, unus Confraternitate Mariana, alter de Philosophia Cartesianâ. (Amstelodami, 1650. Apud Ludovicum Elzevirium.) (4°; aa1ll4); 88 p. With half-title. Part of "Renati Des Cartes meditationes de prima philosophia, in quibus Dei existentia, & animae à corpore distinctio, demonstratur (.). Tertia editio prioribus auctior & emendatior (.)". (In this edition this epistle published with a special half-title and separate paging.) Gisbertus Voetius (Gijsbert Voet, 15681676) was a Dutch Calvinist theologian. In 1642 while serving as rector of University of Utrecht persuaded the university's academic senate to issue a formal condemnation of the Cartesian philosophy. Descartes responded to the offense with this epistle. . Small traces of worming on the lower margin of the first five leaves. Slight damages on spine, otherwise in fine condition. In 18th century blind-stamped leather, spine with four raised bands. Spine lettered in ink First separate and first Latin edition of "La Géometrie" (second printing overall).

Add to basketManuscript notarial act. Single vellum leaf, written in brown ink in a notarial cursive hand, with the signature of Bourcier at the end. Notarial act headed by Florimond de Beaune (16011652) in his early role as conseiller du roi at Blaye, predating his later renown as a mathematician and correspondent of Descartes. This notaria…l deed records that Madame?Pepin and her son paid 45?livres, 10?sols in dépens (legal costs), applied toward the consignation of a larger principal sum of 1,100?livres. Executed at Blois and signed by the notary Bourcier, it reflects a partial settlement within an ongoing financial proceeding. The act is headed by the formal authority of Florimond de?Beaune (16011652), then serving as conseiller du roi. Born in Blois on 7 October 1601 and deceased there on 18 August 1652, de?Beaune was a French jurist and an erudite amateur mathematician. Though mentioned here in his judicial capacity, Florimond de Beaune is best remembered as the first major interpreter of Descartes's geometry. His Notae brevesan introduction printed with the 1649 Latin edition of La Géométriehelped disseminate Cartesian methods, and in 1638 he posed to Descartes the celebrated "inverse tangent" problem, an early instance of a differential equation. A jurist by profession, de Beaune also assembled a substantial scientific library and maintained an observatory at his estate in Blois, embodying the humanist scholar-official of seventeenth-century France. . Text clear throughout, showing only light fading in places; minor handling marks and surface abrasions; trimmed edges somewhat irregular. Horizontal fold and tiny pinholes to the corners. Overall in fine condition. Manuscript notarial act. Single vellum leaf, written in brown ink in a notarial cursive hand, with the signature of Bourcier at the end.
