Beschreibung

One folding engraved plate. [6] pp. Small 4to, attractive modern marbled boards, leather lettering-piece on spine. Augsburg: D. Francken, 1610. First edition and very rare. Faulhaber (1580-1635), a teacher of mathematics at Ulm and a friend of Kepler, made his most lasting accomplishments in the dissemination and explanation of the logarithmic method of calculation. This is Faulhaber s second book and caused him considerable problems with the city s municipal council, as it was published without the permission of the office responsible for supervision of the schools. This book describes a surveying instrument invented by Daniel Speckle in the Netherlands. The fine plate depicts the semicircular instrument, which is divided into 220 parts. Fine copy, preserved in a box. ? D.S.B., IV, pp. 549-53. Poggendorff, I, 725. Tomash & Williams F23. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 6737
