Description
Bologna: Nicolai Tebaldini, 1632. Rare first edition of the first work on logarithms printed in Italy and this great mathematician's first published work. Professor of Mathematics at Bologna, the Milanese Cavalieri introduced and popularized logarithms throughout his country within a generation of Napier's invention of these "valuable auxiliaries to numerical calculation." The Directorium covers the construction, uses, and applications of logarithms, "together with noteworthy developments in trigonometry and applications to astronomy" (E. Carruccio in DSB III.152). It also contains the author's discovery of the expression for the area of a spherical triangle in terms of spherical excess.The Directorium incorporates two extensive appendices of "excellent logarithmic-trigonometric tables," derived from those of Napier and Henry Briggs. The tables include logs of sines, versines (sinus versus) tangents and cotangents (but no cosines). Cavalieri included logarithms of trigonometric functions for the benefit of astronomers. A second edition was issued posthumously in 1653.Cavalieri (1598-1647) was one of the major mathematicians of his period. After studying with Benedetto Castelli, he became a self-declared disciple of Galileo to whom he wrote at least 112 recorded letters. In a letter that helped secure for Cavalieri the chair of mathematics at Bologna, Galileo wrote glowingly of him: "few, if any, since Archimedes, have delved as far and as deep into the science of geometry."OCLC lists NYPL, CalTech, Berkeley, Burndy, U.

Description
[Ithaca: William A. Church Co, 1938. Octavo, stapled in wrappers (17.5 x 12.5 cm.), 61 pages. FIRST EDITION. A fundraising cookbook, published in aid of refugee children on the eve of the Second World War. Originally compiled (but not published) as a Christmas greeting to her friends, the author revised the book "as a means to helping as many as possible of those children to reach a peaceful part of the world where they may enjoy Christmas once again" (preface of the second edition of 1939). This copy shows evidence of the author's attention of moving towards the refugees, with labels pasted to the interior front wrapper panel stating "Sold for the Benefit of the Refugee Children in Care of the American Friends' Service Committee". Two prefatory statements reveal it was originally intended as a Christmas keepsake in the form of a Round Robin. The recipes are interesting, including Gun Club Onion Soup, Baked Sliced Ham with Apricots, Banana Meat Loaf, Virginia Spoon Bread, Spiced Currants, and more. Internally clean and sound; in white wrappers, titled in black on the front panel. One corner lightly creased, and some light foxing to the wrappers, otherwise very good. A few small pencil annotations to a few recipes. [OCLC locates no copies of this first edition, (and eleven copies of the 1939 second edition)].
