Title: I quindici libri degli elementi di Euclide, di greco tradotti in lingua thoscana
Author: EUCLID / CAIANI, Angelo, ed. & tr
Seller: Martayan Lan, Inc. (United States)
Condition: Rare first edition of Euclid extracts in Italian, preceded only by Tartaglia’s translation of 1543, of which it is independ
Description: Rome: Antonio Blado Asolano, 1545. Rare first edition of Euclid extracts in Italian, preceded only by Tartaglia’s translation of 1543, of which it is independent. The first Italian translation made directly from the Greek. According to Rose, (Italian Renaissance of Mathematics, p. 189), the editor and translator Cainai omitted the proofs and figures of most editions because they were not Euclidean. According to Thomas-Stanford, it was issued along with (but is bibliographically separate from) a Greek language selection which the Roman publisher Blado published the same year. (Cf. Thomas-Stanford 26). The work was possibly intended for the use of young people, as in the preface, we read that it is dedicated by the translator, Angelo Caiano, ‘allo eruditissimo Giovane, Messer Antonio Altovitti”, the scion of a great Roman family. (Raphael painted a great portrait of the young man’s relation Bindo Altovitti, now in the National Gallery, Washington). In the preface, Caiani affirms that he made the translation himself from the Greek. Of course, like the Tartaglia, the translation could also have been used by any Latinless reader. OCLC lists UCLA, Brown, Utah, Burndy, Harvard and Michigan. The only copy of the Greek is held by Burndy. Little is known about Caiani. He had a connection with the learned secretary of Ranuccio Farnese Annibal Caro, having copied one of the latter’s manuscripts (Rose, ibid., p. 189). * Thomas Stanford 35; Fumagalli/Belli, Blado [1891]. Vol. I, fasc. I., No. 78; Riccardi I.208.. 8vo., 107, (3) pp., including woodcut portrait of Euclid on title. Bound in old cartonnage, title in ink on front cover. Lightly toned, old repair to wormhole in blank right corner of title, minor waterstaining at extreme lower edge of blank margin. Very good.

Title: AUTOGRAPH LETTER, SIGNED, FROM WILLIAM H. WATSON, GOVERNOR SALOMON'S MILITARY SECRETARY, TO COLONEL THOMAS H. RUGER, COMMANDING THE THIRD WISCONSIN VOLUNTEER INFANTRY, 13 AUGUST 1862, CONCERNING PROMOTION OF OFFICERS
Author: [Wisconsin]
Seller: David M. Lesser, Fine Antiquarian Books LLC (United States)
Description: Madison, 1862. Entirely in ink manuscript. Two lined leaves, each written on recto only, on stationery of State of Wisconsin, Executive Department, with engraving of a tradesman and farmer flanking the Seal of the United States, and the motto "Forward" at the head. Engraved by Wellstood, Hanks, Hay & Whiting, New York. Very Good plus. In response to Colonel Ruger's promotion recommendations, Secretary Watson assures him, on behalf of the Governor, that "the officers named by you have acted in the capacity assigned in the late action, where the regiment has suffered severely, and is unwilling to cause a moment's feeling of disappointment to a brave soldier." He laments "the severe loss incurred by the regiment and the state in the death of the gallant Lt. Col. Crane, and fears that the list of losses when complete will reveal the names of many other of the noble sons of Wisconsin, martyrs in the cause of their country." A Wisconsin lawyer, Ruger was appointed Lieut. Colonel of the Third Wisconsin, and was soon promoted to Colonel. After the War he became Reconstruction Governor of Georgia. Lt. Col. Crane had been killed at the Battle of Cedar Mountain four days earlier. Edward Salomon [1828-1909], a Prussian-born Jew, was the eighth Governor of Wisconsin. He immigrated to the United States in the aftermath of the Revolutions of 1848, settled in Milwaukee, and developed a law practice. Originally a Democrat, he supported the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860, and was elected governor in 1861. He was the brother of Civil War veterans Bvt. Brig. Gen. Charles E. Salomon [1824-1894], Bvt. Maj. Gen. Frederick C. Salomon [1826-1897], and Sgt. Herman Salomon [1834-1881]; and cousin to Bvt. Brig. Gen. Edward Selig Salomon [1836-1913], Civil War hero and Governor of the Washington Territory from 1870-1872.
