Verlag: Excudebant Parmae, Alberttus Pazzonus et Paulus Montius Socii, 1694., 1694
in-12. 112pp. 13 planches gravées hors-texte dont 8 dépliantes. Plein vélin rigide de l'époque, dos à nerfs. Première Edition Collective, imprimée à Parme, de ce précieux recueil de problèmes géométriques résolus par le mathématicien sicilien Ruggero Ventimiglia (1670-1698) et son correspondant Girolamo Saccheri (1667-1733), le célèbre précurseur de la géométrie non-euclidienne, respectivement âgés de vingt-quatre et de vingt-sept ans. Issu d'une grande famille sicilienne qui avait notamment entretenu des liens avec les célèbres mathématiciens Francesco Maurolico (1494-1575) et Giovanni Borelli (1608-1679), Ventimiglia avait publié en 1690, à l'âge de vingt ans, les solutions à douze problèmes géométriques qu'un géomètre hollandais anonyme "caché derrière le tableau" ("geometra post tabulam latens") avait publiés vers 1675 en guise de défi académique. Ces solutions ("Enodationes duodecim problematum a Geometra post tabulam latente propositorum"), étaient accompagnées d'un nouveau problème qu'il soumettait à ses pairs, sous le titre de "Unum ad Omnes". Le problème étant resté sans réponse, il le publia à nouveau en 1692 ("Geometram Quaero", livre aujourd'hui disparu), avec six nouveaux problèmes. C'est alors qu'un autre jeune prodige, le jésuite Girolamo Saccheri, décida de lui répondre en publiant son premier livre, intitulé "Quaesita Geometrica" (1693). Le présent ouvrage recueille, sous le titre évocateur de "Sphinx Geometra", l'ensemble des textes publiés par les deux jeunes mathématiciens sur ces problèmes géométriques et leurs solutions: les énoncés des douze problèmes initiaux et leur solution par Ventimiglia, les nouveaux problèmes qu'il posa ensuite et enfin le texte complet de la réponse de Saccheri. Personne ne semble savoir qui est à l'origine de la publication de cet ouvrage presque inconnu, dédié par l'imprimeur au Prince Francesco Farnese, mais tout semble porter à croire qu'il s'agit de Saccheri lui-même ou de son entourage. En effet, outre la proximité de Parme avec Milan où Saccheri résidait et où il publia la plupart de ses ouvrages (bien loin de la Sicile de Ventimiglia), il est intéressant de noter que huit des treize planches de l'ouvrage sont en fait les mêmes huit planches originales de sa "Quaesita Geometrica" de 1693. Dans un long article de quarante pages paru en 1983, Aldo Brogaglia et Pietro Nastasi ont éclairé l'intérêt de ce premier ouvrage de Saccheri, qui mettait notamment en évidence son intérêt pour la géométrie projective ainsi que les sources organiques de sa pensée mathématique. Cet article dessinait également les contours de la carrière scientifique de Ruggero Ventimiglia, figure brillante mais fugace des mathématiques italiennes du 17e siècle, mort à vingt-huit ans et dont les travaux ne subsistent qu'à travers quelques publications comme celle-ci, pratiquement impossibles à obtenir. Quatre exemplaires seulement de cet ouvrage sont répertoriés dans les bibliothèques publiques d'Italie (Biblioteca Nazionale Napoli, Biblioteca Universitaria Pavia, Collegio Nazareno Roma et Biblioteca Grosso, Torino). Nous n'avons pu en localiser qu'un seul exemplaire dans les collections américaines (Huntington Library), deux exemplaires en Grande Bretagne (Trinity College à Cambridge et University College London), et un exemplaire à Bergen en Norvège. Il n'en existe aucun exemplaire dans les collections publiques françaises. Important exemplaire provenant de la bibliothèque d'Alberto Pascal (1894-1918) qui, malgré son jeune âge, fut l'un des premiers biographes de Saccheri et qui disparut prématurément pendant la première Guerre Mondiale. Cet exemplaire qu'il mentionne dans son article consacré à Saccheri ("raro libretto di cui ho potuto acquistare recentemente una copia") porte ses discrètes initiales "A.P." dans l'angle supérieur de la page de titre, et parvint après sa mort entre les mains de son frère Mario Pascal (1896-1949), également mathématicien, qui y apposa son cachet triangulaire. Mouillure angulaire claire affectant discrètement les deux premiers cahiers. Bel exemplaire imprimé sur papier fort et relié dans son vélin d'origine, contenant 13 planches dépliantes au lieu des 11 décrites dans toutes les collations que nous avons trouvées.

First edition. 4to. 227x175mm. pp. [XVI], 142 [2bl], 6 folding plates with 55 diagrams. Contemporary vellum, spine with four raised bands, compartments decorated with gilt flower motif. Covers a little marked and soiled. Some foxing and browning but otherwise very good internally. An excellent copy of a scarce book of which Worldcat locates only sixteen copies worldwide. We have traced no copies at auction. Girolamo Saccheri (1667-1733) was a Jesuit priest and one of the most influential mathematicians of his time although the significance of his revolutionary ideas was not fully appreciated until 150 years after his death. As a young man, he taught at a Jesuit college in Milan where he encountered the mathematical work of the Ceva brothers. He spent most of his life teaching philosophy, theology and mathematics at the University of Pavia. Euclides ab omni nævo vindicatus is Saccheri's third work on mathematics and the work for which he is best known. As he died in 1733, it is possible that he never saw it published. Although Saccheri is regarded as the father of non-Euclidean geometry, he did not set out to disprove Euclid's parallel postulate but, rather, prove it. Indeed, as the title of the book makes clear, it is an attempt to vindicate Euclid. It was in rejecting a contradiction of Euclid's second postulate (that a terminated line can be produced indefinitely) that Saccheri raised the possibility that straight lines are finite. Although he did not realise it at the time, this idea is now regarded as the basis of elliptic and hyperbolic geometry which refutes Euclid's second and fifth postulates. Almost exactly 100 years later Nikolai Lobachevsky and Janos Bolyai, independently of each other, published the foundational texts of non-Euclidean geometry, a term first used by their contemporary Carl Friedrich Gauss. But none of these men knew of Saccheri: as we said, this is a rare book. It was not until another Italian mathematician, Eugenio Beltrami, published a paper in 1889 comparing Saccheri's work on Euclid's parallel postulate to that of Lobachevsky and Bolyai, that he was brought to the attention of the mathematical world. The history of non-Euclidean geometry would have to be rewritten with Saccheri taking his place as its prime mover.
