ARCHIMEDES (c.287-212 BCE). Opera, in Greek and Latin. Edited by David Rivault. Paris: Claude Morel, 1615.
The complete works of Archimedes, one of the greatest mathematicians and physicists of all time. Among his contributions to mathematics and science is his discovery of the principle of specific gravity, a method for calculating the centres of gravity, an approximation of the value of pi and a system for expressing very large numbers. Brunet I, 383.
Folio (350 x 223mm). Title printed in red and black, printer's device on title, numerous woodcut mathematical diagrams in text, ornamental headpieces and initials. Greek, roman and italic type (lightly uniformly browned) 17th-century polished calf, double-fillet gilt border to the sides (rebacked with the original spine laid down, some staining and abrasions to sides, corners bumped, extremities a little rubbed). Provenance: Simon Bouillot (French medical doctor and author; inscription at front dated 1632).
