The title woodcut shows a mathematician sitting behind a barrel holding an inchmeasure.
Below verses and date MDXXXL Further there are 6 mathematical diagrams contained in. At the
end the printer’s large armorial device by Hans Baldung Grien, with the inscription: ta-
genium vires superat.
The last two leaves are carefully mended on top blank margin without loss of text.

1057 Kobel, Jacob. Geometrey Von Kunstlichem Feldtmessen, vnd Absehen, Allerhandt
Hohe, Fleche, Ebne, Weite und Breyte. Franckfurt a. M., Matthes Becker, 1598. 4,f>.
With title-cut and 53 curious cuts and diagrams in the text.
Old red limp vellum. 90.—
Rare edition of this interesting geometrical and astronomical work with many
curious illustrations. The work is divided into two parts: ,,Von Feldtmessen" and ,,Vom
Quadranten". Some interesting chapters are: ,,Von messen vnd theylen dess Erdtrichs, Ecker, vnd
Felder . . .“, ,,Ein Baumgarten, der gantz in die Riinde, gleich einem Circkel umbzeunet . . . zu messen",
„Ein Berg mit deiner Messruten zumessen habe", ,,Von Abmessung Allerhand Hohe, Tieffe, . . . durch
den Stab Jaco b“, „Gebrauch des Spiegel s“, „Wie der Quadrant zubrauchen sey", „L>ie
stund am tag zu wissen", „Wie du messen solt die hohe eines Thurms" etc. The woodcuts are illu-
strating the text very exactly and singularly.
The author, an important scholar of the time, was born at Heidelberg in 1470. He studied at
Cracow, where Copernicus was his fellow-student. He died at Oppenheim 1533.
Nice copy, a few 11. slightly stained, some cuts are nicely coloured by an old hand.

A very interesting early Italian ciphering book dealing with all kinds of commercial
arithmetic. It is a book destined for daily use, a fact proved by the arrangement ot
printing. At the top of each page there are scales of rates for gold, silver, soap, wax, wool,
bread, silk, fish, oil, ginger, etc. and the rest of the page, about two thirds, is left free from printing
for MS.-entries. At the beginning is a table of abbreviations for coins, weights and measures used at
Venice, then follow tables of multiplication, division and the rule of proportion. Of high interest also
are the quotations of the exchange, among which are given also the relations of sterling to
the Italian Currencies.
On title-leaf an old ownership entry, but in very good condition.
