VIVIANI, Vincenzo (1622-1703). Formazione, e misura di tutti i cieli con la struttura, e quadratura esatta dell'intero. Florence: Piero Matini, 1692.
4° (223 x 155mm). Woodcut diagrams and ornaments. With half-title. (Without the singleton leaf containing ‘le omissioni da integrare’.) Early 20th-century red half morocco.
FIRST EDITION of this collection of geometrical problems and answers, assembled by the 70-year-old Viviani from among his old papers. In his dedication to Ferdinand de Medici he identifies himself as the author of the internationally famous problem known as the ‘Florentine enigma’. This had been solved by Leibniz on a visit to Viviani in Itay in 1689, and was ‘the first example of the calculation of the area of a curved surface by means of integral calculus’ (DSB XIV, p.49, note 1). As Cinti notes, Viviani had already circulated many of the problems under the pseudonym of Pio Lisci Pusillo Geometra. Carli and Favaro 384; Cinti 164; Gamba 2111; Riccardi I(ii) 628.8.
