Rouen, Charles Osmont, 1639. 39 pp., 4 vignettes gravées sur bois, vélin souple, dos lisse avec titre manuscrit (reliure de l?époque). Troisième édition du commentaire de Claude Mydorge sur La Récréation Mathématique de Jean Leucheron.L?ouvrage se compose de quatre parties, les deux premières contiennent des problèmes ?plaisants et facétieux? d?arithmétique, de géométrie, d?astrologie, de perspective et d?optique. La troisième partie est exclusivement consacrée aux feux d?artifice et contient des recettes pour la fabrication de la poudre. La dernière partie, par Henrion, professeur de mathématiques à Paris et l?un des premiers scientifiques à avoir rédigé un traité sur les logarithmes, renferme des notes et des corrections des erreurs se trouvant dans les parties précédentes.Le Jésuite Jean Leucheron (vers 1591-1670) était professeur de philosophie et de mathématiques. Il avait publié en 1624 à Pont-à-Mousson, sous le pseudonyme de H. van Etten, un rarissime ouvrage de jeux mathématiques intitulé La Récréation mathématique ou Entretiens facétieux sur plusieurs plaisants problèmes en fait d?arithmétique, de géométrie. Grand amateur de géométrie, le juriste, mathématicien, géomètre et physicien Claude Mydorge (1585?1647) développa également un goût particulier pour les jeux et récréations mathématiques et fit rapidement imprimer une nouvelle édition augmentée de ses commentaires de l?ouvrage de Leucheron.Mydorge collabora et se lia d?amitié avec Descartes. Son intérêt pour les sections coniques le conduisit aussi à s?intéresser aux lois de l?optique et à l?astronomie. « Claude Mydorge, a friend of Descartes and an eminent geometer, [.] was also well versed in optics » (DSB).Cet ouvrage connut un formidable succès et fut réimprimé à de très nombreuses reprises au cours du XVIIe siècle.Illustré de 84 charmantes vignettes sur bois représentant tous les sujets abordés, y compris un bois décrivant une camera obscura.Feuillet D (première partie) déchiré en coin avec perte de quelques lettres et feuillet B2 (deuxième partie) déchiré en marge avec perte de quelques lettres.

Couverture rigide. Un rare ouvrage ancien de physique amusante | Claude Prost | Lyon 1642-1643 | 10.9 x 17 cm | Relié | Nouvelle édition illustrée de 79 gravures sur bois dans le texte (cf Bibliographie der Spielbücher). Reliure en plein parchemin souple, dos lisse muet et sali, plats salis, reliure de l'époque. Mouillures claires en têtes des premiers feuillets, en pied de la première partie de l'exemplaire et affectant d'autres feuillets. L'ouvrage est généralement attribué au Père Leurechon (1591-1670), jésuite lorrain, professeur de mathématiques, de philosophie et de théologie à l'Université de Pont-à-Mousson (Dictionary of Scientific Biography VIII 271) mais la question de son auteur est encore sujette à controverse (cf. David Singmaster, Bibliography of Some Recreational Mathematics Books, 2004, qui attribue l'ouvrage à Hendrik van Etten). * Il comprend plus de 130 divertissements mathématiques et problèmes de physique amusante dans la lignée des Problèmes plaisans de Bachet de Méziriac. On y trouve aussi bien les principes de la règle de trois que les aspects mathématiques de jeux comme la "Paulme, Truc ou de billart, Paille maille & autres semblables" tels que les dames et les échecs, ou bien d'ingénieux dispositifs comme « Par le moyen de deux miroirs plans faire voir une image volant en l'air ayant la teste en bas » ou le thermomètre inventé en Italie un demi-siècle plus tôt. Ce sont ces exemples de physique amusante qui firent le succès de l'ouvrage, réédité ou traduit près de 70 fois depuis 1624 jusqu'à la fin du XVIIe siècle. La troisième partie est consacrée à l'art de faire des feux d'artifice. | [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS] New edition illustrated with 79 woodcuts in the text (cf. Bibliographie der Spielbücher).Contemporary limp vellum, plain spine rubbed and soiled, covers stained.Light dampstaining at the head of the opening leaves, at the foot of the first part, and affecting other leaves.The work is generally attributed to Father Leurechon (1591-1670), a Jesuit from Lorraine, professor of mathematics, philosophy and theology at the University of Pont-à-Mousson (Dictionary of Scientific Biography VIII 271), though its authorship remains disputed (cf. David Singmaster, Bibliography of Some Recreational Mathematics Books, 2004, who attributes it to Hendrik van Etten). * It comprises more than 130 mathematical recreations and problems of recreational physics in the tradition of Bachet de Méziriac's Problèmes plaisans. It includes principles as elementary as the rule of three, as well as the mathematical aspects of games such as "Paulme, Truc ou de billart, Paille maille & autres semblables" like checkers and chess, or ingenious devices such as « Par le moyen de deux miroirs plans faire voir une image volant en l'air ayant la teste en bas » or the thermometer invented in Italy half a century earlier. These examples of recreational physics ensured the success of the work, which was reprinted or translated nearly 70 times from 1624 through the end of the seventeenth century. The third part is devoted to the art of making fireworks. 3 parties en un vol. in-8 ; 1) 230 pp. - 2) 63 pp. - 3) 2 ff.n.ch., pp. 67-106, 8 ff.n.ch. - Nombreuses figures sur bois dans le texte Zollinger.…

Hardcover. 2nd Edition. Paris, Chez Rolet Boutonné, 1638 [second edition]/ 1630. Octavo (170 × 105 mm), four parts bound as one volume, [xvi], 280; 64 (last blank); [63]-106, [12] (index, last three blank); and 39, [1] (blank) pages with woodcut printer's devices on the four title pages, and 84 illustrations throughout (approximately 80 woodcut illustrations and a few type-set diagrams). There are five leaves missing from the 'Troisième Partie' (F4, F5, G1, G4 and G5: pages 85-90, 95-96, and 101-104). Nineteenth century half calf and marbled boards (now lacking the leather corner-pieces, revealing earlier full vellum boards underneath); covers a little worn; light tidemark to the bottom inner corner of the text block throughout; a little worming to the top (blank) margin of the first 25 leaves; insect damage to the bottom edge (extending at most a few millimetres into the wide blank bottom margins); first title leaf dusty and a little soiled; the five missing leaves notwithstanding, overall a very presentable copy. The second edition of Claude Mydorge's expanded edition and critique of this popular early work of recreational mathematics, first published in 1624 and usually attributed to Jean Leurechon. Each of Leurechon's mathematical problems is reprinted here in roman type, with Mydorge's explanatory notes and criticism following in italic. The third part, albeit relatively insubstantial (only 44 well-illustrated pages), is devoted exclusively to fireworks and their construction, which probably explains the few missing leaves. The subtitle is: 'Composée d'un receuil de plusieurs plaisantes & recreatives inventions de feux d'artifice, plus la maniere de faire toutes sortes de fuzées, tant simples que doubles, avec leur composition, le tout representé par figures [sic]' [Comprising a collection of several pleasant and recreative inventions of fireworks, plus the manner of making all sorts of rockets, both single and double, with their composition, all represented in figures]. This third part, together with the second, made its first appearance in a 1628 edition of 'Récréations Mathématiques' published by Charles Osmont at Rouen. Their authorship has not been established (HEEFER, Albrecht: 'Récréations Mathématiques (1624), A Study on its Authorship, Sources and Influence', revised 7 October 2004). The fourth part, 'Nottes [sic] sur les Recreations .' is by D.H.P.E.M. [Denis Henrion, Professeur ès Mathématiques]. Claude Mydorge (1585-1647), French mathematician, was a friend of René Descartes, with whom he shared a strong interest in optics and the nature of vision. 'Mydorge's first major work was the "Examen du livre des Récréations mathématiques", published in 1630. As the title suggests, it was a work on recreational mathematics and was effectively a critique of Laurechon's [sic] book on the theme ['Récréations mathématiques' by the French Jesuit, Jean Leurechon, writing under the pen name of van Etten, first appeared in 1624]. However, it was through his work on conic sections that Mydorge made the greatest scientific impact' (The Cambridge Descartes Lexicon, online). Provenance: a 1713 signature on the first page; an early ownership inscription ('Micha[el] Hutchins His Book') on a preliminary page; 'G.S. Kingston Sept 1834' on the front pastedown: Sir George Strickland Kingston (1807-1880), the South Australian pioneer, engineer and politician (deputy-surveyor-general under Colonel William Light, co-discoverer of the River Torrens, first Speaker in the House of Assembly.…

8º, full contemporary vellum binding, 3 parts bound in 1 volume, Book I: 1-257 pp. 1-13 pp. index. Book II: 1-61 pp. 1-5 pp. index. Book III, 1-41 pp. 1 p. index. With 64 woodcut illustrations and tables, plus 1 decorative woodcut initial. Manuscript inscription (ink) in French on the first page. Front and back boards chipped at lower corner. Three small wormholes on back board but no other wormhole damage. A few minor stains. Binder's waste protruding from front and back inner hinges. Overall, in good condition.A rare, important volume in the history of science, mathematics, and "natural magic" in the Netherlands: this is the first book of recreational mathematics translated into Dutch from the original French. The book's title page lays claim to a range of disciplines-- arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, geography, cosmography, music, physics, architecture, "optica, catoptrica" (cf. Hero of Alexandria), and "sciotetica"; but in practical terms, the volume combines the fields of mercantile arithmetic, recreational mathematics, and popular science. With extensive in-text illustrations, the work outlines entertaining tricks, problems, riddles and puzzles based on various branches of mathematics. It also covers subjects like card tricks; calendrical calculations; constructing scales, clocks, sun dials, levers and pullies; astronomy; magnetism; surveying; military mechanics and gunpowder; fireworks; conjuring tricks; and more.B2289 - mathematica - wiskunde - wetenschap - spellen - aritmetiek - geïllustreerd - kaart truc - Leurechon. …
