164 Aguillon, Franc. d‘. S. J. Opticorum libri VI. Antwerp., ex offic. Plantiniana,
1613. Fol. With finely engraved title, engr. vign., numerous
diagrams, & printer's mark at end. Old vellum (back rep.) 90.--
An extremely rare work on optics. Francois d‘Aguillon, 1566—1617, a famous Flemish
mathematician, was professor of philosophy at Douai and rector of the Jesuit College at Ant-
werp. His work is notable for the principles of stereographic projection it con-
tains. Somewhat browned, entry on title.
165 CAL ANDRI, PH. Arifhmetica. Firenze, Lorenzo Morgiani e Gio-
vanni Petri da Magonza, 1491. 8vo. Gothic, 26 lines, 104 unn. 11.
With2 full -p agefigures, 39 smaller, very intere-
sting woodcuts, 21 pages surrounded by a nicely
figured woodcut-border, and 19 geometrical f i -
, g u r e s. Full brown morocco extra, blind toolings, gilt inner fil.
(Leighton). 1600.—
Hain (not seen) -Cop. 4234. Proctor, 6352. Kristeller, Early Florentine
Woodcuts, 77 a. Riccardi I. col. 208. Smith, Rara Arithmetica, P. 47 (with some
reproductions). De Morgan, no. 1: „This book very few have mentioned at all
and fewer still from inspections1'.
The First Edition of the first printed Italian arithmetic with illustrations
accompanying problems, and the first to give long division in the modern form
known to the Italian writers by the name „a danda".
Pollard in his ,Early Illustrated Books' gives a long description of this
book (p. 109) and calls it „the most delightful of all arithmetic
book s“.
This important work contains tables of exchange of money,
calculations of money and weight and other problems in com-
mercial arithmetic, etc.
This copy, coming from the library of Charles Butler of Warren
Wood, Hatfield, is well preserved and quite perfect. There are a few
spots and notes in an old hand, on 1. 8 an insignificant rent, the right upper
corner of two leaves is mended without any loss of text. The first leaf is
slightly dam. and repaired at one corner, rather short copy.
Complete copies of this curious book are extremely rare.

plained. This third edition is greatly enlarged and corrected. The author lived from 1577 to 1644
and was professor of mathematics at the Collegio di Sapienza at Rome. — Good copy.
