In-4° (cm. 28,3x23), pp. 6. Bross. edit. muta. LEONARDO PISANO cioè FIBONACCI (Pisa 1170 1242 circa) uno dei più grandi matematici di tutti i tempi, realizzò l'unione fra i procedimenti della geometria greca euclidea (gli Elementi) e gli strumenti matematici di calcolo elaborati dalla scienza islamica. WOEPCKE(Dessau 1826 - 1864) stiudiò le origini del pensiero matematico, e apprese l'arabo sotto Freytag. Avendo deciso di dedicarsi allo studio delle matematiche orientali, si trasferì a Parigi dove studiò il persiano e il sanscrito, e pubblicò nel 1851, per la prima volta, l'Algebra di 'Omar Khayyam, e nel 1853 l'estratto dell'opera al-Fakhri.

EDITIO PRINCEPS OF THE WRITINGS OF FIBONACCI, THE GREATEST MATHEMATICIAN OF THE MIDDLE AGES, STILL THE ONLY COMPLETE EDITION PUBLISHED. IN THE HISTORY OF MATHEMATICS THIS UNABRIDGED EDITION OF THE LATIN TEXT IS ESSENTIAL, AND WAS THE VEHICLE BY WHICH FIBONACCI'S WORKS WERE DISSEMINATED THROUGHOUT MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY CULTURE. Rare in private ownership. Sold at Sotheby's forty years ago, ours is ONLY copy that has ever appeared at public auction according to Rare Book Hub, which currently lists more than 14 million records in the Rare Book Transactions database; furthermore, it is the only copy currently available on the market. Leonardo of Pisa (ca. 1170-1250), a.k.a. Fibonacci, is justly considered to be the most important mathematician of the Middle Ages, if only for being the first Christian mathematician to systematically explain Arabic numerals. Indeed, the mathematical renaissance in the West began with him according to George Sarton. The first volume contains the the 'Liber Abaci,' devoted to problems of computation including algebraic quadratic problems; here Fibonnaci here introduces Arabic numerals, the fraction bar, and the numerical approach to square roots and cube roots. The second volume contains the 'Practica Geometriae,' devoted to the application of algebra to geometric problems; 'Flos,' written for Frederick II in answer to a number of mathematical problems posed by Magister Johannes; "Letter to Magister Theodorus" developing a general method for the solution of indeterminate problems; and finally the great "Liber quadratorum," described by Vogel as "a first-rate scientific achievement and showing Fibonacci as "a major number theorist." Vogel continues to assert (correctly) that Fibonacci was far ahead of his time, without a successor until 1621, when Bachet made the text of Diophantus available which in turn stimulated Fermat in founding number theory. "In addition to the antique manuscripts, there also undeniably exists, however, a vehicle that, notwithstanding the inadequate and problematic access to the manuscript sources, has spread the text of the Fibonaccian treatise throughout modern and contemporary culture: the well known Italian mathematician and historian of science Baldassarre Boncompagni Ludovisi, in fact, in his brilliant far-reaching project which brought into focus the personality of Fibonacci, as well as his surviving works, realized and published in Rome in 1857 [i.e. THIS EDITION] what can with ample justification be defined the editio princeps of the entire treatise." (Germano). Despite the flaws in Boncompagni's work, "it of course was a noteworthy editorial operation, especially as it made available in print to a vast number of interested parties a work which had almost fallen into oblivion and that up to that time could be consulted only from its manuscript sources, with all the difficulties and inconvenience which this could entail." (Germano). It is fair to say that Fibonacci's contributions to mathematics languished unappreciated until the rediscovery of his texts and their presentation in the present -- surprisingly rare -- volumes. Despite its flaws, Boncompagni's edition serves as the basis for only complete translation of the Liber Abici made into a modern language thus far, namely Lawrence E. Sigler's "Fibonacci's Liber Abaci. A Translation into Modern English of Leonardo Pisano's Book of Calculation" (2002). Whereas Sigler corrected some errors he introduced many others, usually on account of inability to understand and effectively translate the Renaissance Latin text. Before Boncompagni's edition, only the "Prologus" and Chapter XV of Fibonacci's Liber Abaci had received a respectful circulation in print that was due to G. Libri's "Histoire des sciences mathématiques en Italie, dépuis la renaissance des lettres, jusqu'à la fin du dixseptième siècle" (Paris, 1838) vol. II, respectively pp. 287-290 and 307-476.

Vaughn (1939-2022), enigmatic American philanthropist and bibliophile who assembled the finest mathematics collection ever formed by a private individual: 125 rare and foundational books in the history of mathematics were donated to the Harry Ransom Center in 2021; our volume was kept in Vaughn's home in River Oaks, Houston, and sold to us by his estate. Vaughn funded the Mathematical Association of America and helped support the solution of the 300-year-old math puzzle, Fermat's Last Theorem; it is therefore meaningful that he owned this copy of the Editio Princeps of the complete works of Fibonacci.

brossura. Etat : in ottime condizioni. 8° (cm. 23,5) - Pp. (4), 122, 1 c. bianca + 1 tav. f.t. ripieg. con diagrammi. Brossura muta. Bell'esemplare con ampi margini, ex libris al contro-piatto. Leonardo Pisano, matematico del XIII sec., con il "Liber Abbaci" del 1202 introdusse per primo in Europa la numerazione araba. Le opere di Leonardo Pisano furono studiate, largamente sfruttate, e anche saccheggiate dai contemporanei e dai posteri fino all'inizio del XVI sec., poi in seguito furono abbastanza ignorate, fino a quando dei matematici nel Settecento e poi Guglielmo Libri e Baldassarre Boncompagni nel XIX sec., si interessarono molto alla sua opera. Fu proprio quest'ultimo a ritrovare un manoscritto di Leonardo Pisano alla Biblioteca Ambrosiana e a pubblicare nel 1854 quest'opuscolo. Si trattò di un'edizione subito apprezzata per i suoi contenuti, che attrasse l'attenzione degli studiosi. Particolarmente attento fu l'esame di Angelo Genocchi che riscontrò alcuni errori in questa prima edizione, spingendo Boncompagni ad una seconda più accurata ristampa nel 1856. Edizione originale, rara. (Riccardi, I, II, 31).
