(hydraulics, civil engineering, canals, bridges, water mills, dykes. ) and also one of the first times that integral calculus is used to solve technical problems. Bernard Forest de Bélidor (1698, Catalonia, Spain 8 September 1761, Paris, France) was a French engineer, significant to the development of the science of hydraulics and ballistics. He was the son of Jean Baptiste Foret de Belidor, an officer of dragoons, and his wife, Marie Héber but was orphaned at five months old and brought up by the family of his godfather, an artillery officer named de Fossiébourg. Bélidor enlisted in the army at a young age. After leaving the army, he developed an interest in science and engineering, and became professor of artillery at the school of Fère-en-Tardenois in Aisne. For a while he worked on measuring the arc of the earth. In the years to come he published several works of great importance, on a wide range of subjects, including hydraulics, mathematics, and civil and military engineering. His most famous book is L'architecture hydraulique (published in four volumes from 1737-1753). Here, integral calculus is used for the first time in solving technical problems.

Couverture rigide. Condition: Satisfaisant. Paris, chez Charles-Antoine Joubert, 1737, reliure plein cuir d'époque, environ 29 X 22 cm, (2), Frontispice, Titre, (6), (xii), 312 (2) pages, illustré de 44 planches dépliantes en N&B + un frontispice, quelques vignettes et 29 tables. Notre exemplaire est dans un état acceptable. La reliure est bien solide mais montre diverses traces d'usure sévère (voir les images pour une idée plus complète). L'intérieur est peut-être un peu mieux, bien complet de toutes les planches, solidement relié sans pages lâches, mais montrant diverses taches pâles occasionnelles, salissures de doigts (sans trop d'importance sauf au tout début), certaines écritures ou barbouillis à la seconde page vierge, quelques traces de mouillure toujours au coin supérieur droit (environ une vingtaine de pages et environ 7 planches). Ces traces sont de densité variable, nous vous montrons sur l'images la plus évidente, je n'ai pas compté les pages ou cette trace est présente mais presqu'invisible. Notons aussi la présence d'une inscription de 5 lignes accompagnée d'un petit dessin sur la marge supérieure de la page 3 et une autre inscription de peu d'importance à la marge droite de la page 311. Un livre dans cet état est difficile à décrire entièrement alors n'hésitez pas à poser des questions ou considérez-le comme une copie de travail bien que les planches soient dans un état général très satisfaisant sans déchirures ou pliures.

"Bélidor`s work is one of the earliest scientific books in the field of engineering. Concentrating on civil construction, he considers transportation, shipbuilding, waterways and watersupply, ornamental fountains, windmills and pumps, epitomizing their state on the eve of the Industrial Revolution." Bélidor was the first to use differential and integral equations for the solution of hydrotechnical problems. The work remained the standard authority on practical water engineering long after most of the techniques it describes became obsolete". - Einbände berieben, Kanten berieben, verso Vorsatz und Titel mehrfach gestempelt, innen sauber und gut erhalten Sprache: Französisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550 Fol., Ganzlederbände der Zeit, vergold.
