Geometria, à Renato Des Cartes anno 1637 Gallicè edita; postea autem unà cum Notis Florimondi de Beavne, In Curia Blesensi Consiliarii Regii, Gallicè conscriptis in Latinam linguam versa, & commentariis illustrata.... Amsterdam: Elzevir, 1659-1661. 2 volumes bound in 1, 4to. Portrait frontispiece, numerous diagrams in text. Contemporary vellum, leather tabs on edges marking each section. Light staining and foxing. Second edition of Frans van Schooten's Latin translation of Descartes' seminal work. The Géométrie first appeared in French as an appendix to Descartes' Discours de la Méthode (1637). Van Schooten first saw the Géométrie at Leiden, as Descartes had come there to supervise the printing of the Discours. Van Schooten published the first Latin translation in 1649, adding his own extensive commentary. In the second edition the commentaries were enlarged, and served as a basic reference for the generation of scholars who developed integral calculus. Isaac Newton, for one, used this edition in his studies, as his annotated copy in the library at Cambridge University can attest. WITH: Opuscula posthuma, physica et mathematica . Amsterdam: P & J Blaeu, 1704. 4to. Contemporary vellum, manuscript title on spine. Some dampstaing, wear.
