RARE ORIGINAL EDITION Fundamental work of the great Italian opera bibliographer, written through a survey of first-hand documents and unpublished manuscripts, still of great value to the wealth of references. Fumagalli: "still remains one of the most valuable works in our history of mathematics ... even the most recent mathematical ... agree in recognizing the critical importance of the work." Books picked up a very important library which counted more than 1800 manuscripts and 40,000 printed volumes from auctions, from acquisitions of significant private funds and, in part, as it was proved later by embezzlement.
Oschki: “Ouvrage recherche”. Zeitlinger: “scarce”. Esemplare appartenuto al celebre fisico inglese Edward Neville da Costa Andrade, che nel 1914 fu il primo ad esaminare lo spettro dei raggi gamma, insieme a Ernest Rutherford. Fumagalli, Guglielmo Libri, pp. 4-8; Oschki, XII, 1960; Zeitlinger, n. 2609.
