FIRST EDITION of the best illustrated work on calculation and during the eighteenth century. It describes and illustrates the digital calculating machines of Schott (1668), Grillet (1673), Leibniz (1674), Poleni (1709), and Leupold himself, along with Napier's rods and several calculation tables. It also discusses and illustrates the various analogue devices available, including slide rules and sectors, and other calculating and measuring rules, as well as systems of computing using the fingers. This is the eighth volume of Leupold's Theatrum machinarum, a nine-volume series on machine design and technology published between 1724 and 1739 (the posthumous ninth volume, entitled Theatri machinarum supplementum, was edited by Joachim Ernst Scheffler).
