Hardcover. Condizione: Good. 1st Edition. First edition, extremely rare first issue of all four books, and an author's presentation copy. "Mydorge's work on conic sections contains hundreds of problems published for the first time, as well as a multitude of ingenious and original methods that later geometers frequently used, usually without citing their source" (DSB). Books 1 and 2 (pp. 1-134) were first published separately in 1631; a second edition appeared in 1639 with two additional books. The present copy has the first edition of the first two books, with the 1631 title page, bound up with the last two books from the second edition. A printed paper slip Libri quatuor priores has been pasted over Liber primus et secundus on the title to accommodate the added books, and a large section of text has also been pasted over the original on page 67 corresponding to changes in book I made between the 1631 and 1639 editions. OCLC lists only 4 copies of the 1631 edition but 24 of the 1639. It is likely that the 1631 edition was printed in very small numbers and was mostly, if not entirely, intended for presentation. The only other copy of the first editions of all four books to have appeared at auction was Michel Chasles' copy, last sold in 1972. Claude Mydorge's four books on the nature, properties, and generation of conic sections, were presented as a necessary preliminary to and geometric basis of reflective and refractive optics. Mydorge's Prodromi originates in the 1620s when he worked on lenses and refraction theory with Marin Mersenne, who knew Mydorge's manuscript and mentions it in a letter of 1623. By 1627 Mydorge, Rene Descartes, and lens maker Jean Ferrier had studied the anaclastic lens of hyperbolic figure and managed to make one. By the time of the Prodromi, Mydorge had intimate knowledge of the optical properties of curves and surfaces and had developed descriptions based not on their figure as produced by sectioning a cone, but rather on their focal properties. He was equally interested in and inventive of ways in which to actually produces these curves. Both aspects would define the Prodromi. Book 1, 'On the Elements of Conics, or the Origin, Generation, and Nature Proper to Each Conic Section,' covers classical conic sections but adds many new problems and their solution, particularly for elliptical, parabolic, and hyperbolic curves. In Book 2, 'Description of the Geometry of Linear Conics in a Plane through a Point,' deals with practical methods of generating parabolic and hyperbolic curves. Mydorge sets out the traditional theory of conic sections as described by Apollonius of Perga in the second century BC, using sections of a right circular cone. His first important advance is to define these curves optically, that is, in terms of their foci and what would now be called the directrix, rather than as sections of a cone. Mydorge then showed how to generate an elliptic, parabolic, or hyperbolic curves of a given size, or with given foci. All these methods lent themselves to drawing methods with practical tools that could generate the desired curve. Book 3, 'Conic Sections that are the Same,' presents propositions that detect conic sections that are the same using their parameters, and shows how to duplicate a give conic by sectioning a cone. In Book 4, 'Conic Sections that are similar,' propositions are presented to detect similar conic sections. Bibliotheca Opticoria 64. Provenance: Mydorge ('Donum authoris' inscription to title); Valesius (title inscription); Hermann (title inscription dated 1833). Folio (345 x 228 mm), pp. [10], 1-36, 33-40, 45-308, including rare dedication to Mydorge's sponsor, Sir Charles Cavendish but lacking the errata leaf sometimes found in other copies (occasional spotting and even browning, a few minor ink stains). Contemporary reversed calf with spine label (soiled and worn with loss to head and tail of spine, board edges and upper part of rear board). A very good copy internally.…

[Relié à la suite] :[HENRION (Didier)] Nottes sur les récréations mathématiques. Par D.H.P.E.M. 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.

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.…

Very rare fourth edition of the commentary of Claude Mydorge (1585-1647) on the Récreations mathématiques by "H. van Etten" (Jean Leurechon). Mydorge corrected the numerous mistakes made by Leurechon in these mathematical diversions and "added several physical experiments as well as comments that he claimed were intended only for his friends". Several of examples and comments by Mydorge, also appear in the works of his friend Descartes, making it "reasonable to conclude that many of the other mechanical problems discussed by Mydorge in this work were also known to Descartes and one can easily imagine Descartes as one of the friends participating in the discussions of these problems alluded to in the prefatory remarks" (Hattab).The "diversions" consist of numerous problems for which a mathematical solution is presented, most of them illustrated by a woodcut. For instance, Mydorge (following Leurechon) informs the reader how to make water in a glass boil without fire, "to make a door open from both sides; to build a bridge all round the earth which will not fall when its supports are removed; to keep all the water in the world in the air without a single drop falling to earth". The third chapter, on fireworks, contains even more spectacular problems, such as "if all the gunpowder in the world were put in a globe of glass or paper and set on fire all at once, what would happen? Nothing, since the pressure would be equal in every direction" (Thorndike).Binding soiled and spine with a few holes; lower part loose in binding. First 50 pages creased; several marks and thumbing throughout. A fair, probably well-used copy.l Worldcat (1 copy); for Mydorge: DSB IX, pp. 598-599; Hattab, Descartes on forms and mechanisms, pp. 90-92; Thorndike VII, pp. 593-594.
