RARE FIRST EDITION.
Are collected together for the first time mathematics treaties, philosophy and philology of Newton: many of these treaties are very difficult to find in their original editions. The work is supervised by Johann Castillioneus, aka Giovanni Francesco Salvemini of Castiglione, who has composed a substantial introductory note and Newton's life.
The first volume, Mathematica, contains: Analysis 1711; Methodus fluxionum, 1736; De quadrature, 1706; Enumeratio, 1706; Methodus differentialis, 1716; extracts from the correspondence with John Wallis, John Chamberlayne, Abbe Conti, John Collins and Henry Oldenburg, including the texts of the Epistle prior and posterior of the Epistle that had appeared in Commercium epistolicum. The second, Philosophica: De mundi systemate, 1731; Lectiones Opticae, 1729; extracts from the Philosophical Transactions, numbers 80-5, 86, 88, 96, 97, 110, 121, 128, which deal with the light and color; De nature acidorum, 1736; Scala graduum caloris, 1701. The third, Philologica: Brevia Cronica, 1728; Chronology veterum Regnorum amended, 1728; studies on the history taken from Philos. Transactionibus, 1725; For Danielis profetae vaticinia, 1737, whose second part concerns the Apocalypse of John; Dissertatio de Judaeorum sacred cubit, 1737.
Riccardi: “Pregiata collezione.” Ognuno di questi volumi può essere considerato come un’opera completa e si può trovare proposto nel mercato antiquario anche separato dagli altri due. Gray, n. 2; Riccardi, I, 297; Babson, n. 9. Cfr. Gjertsen, The Newton Handbook p. 98.
