MAUROLICO, Francesco (1494-1575). Opuscula mathematica. Venice: Francesco de Franceschi, 1575.
2 volumes in one, 4° (213 x 158mm). Woodcut printer’s device on both titles and verso of final leaf of text (before index), woodcut diagrams, initials, head- and tailpieces. (Both titles browned, some mainly light waterstaining, some browning and/or spotting.) Contemporary vellum, manuscript title on spine (lacking ties, lightly soiled, front pastedown partly soiled). Provenance: label removed from pastedown – label pasted over inscription on the second title.
FIRST EDITION of this mathematical and astronomical treatise. ‘It was one of the last of the sixteenth-century Italian works of this nature, and shows considerable originality in the treatment of figurate numbers. Maurolycus was by no means a mere compiler, but a man of creative power’ (Smith). Adams M-919; Riccardi I, 141; Smith, Rara arithmetica pp.348-350.
