EUCLIDES. Elementa, Libris XV. ad germanam geometriae intelligentiam … Authore D. Francisco Flussate Candalla.Paris, Du Puys, 1578.
Folio, mm. 310x200; Contemporary full smooth vellum binding; pp. [24], 575, [1]. Printer’s device at Titlepage, some wide adorned Initials, many geometrical illustrations within the text. Stamp of extinct French library at the Titlepage, “SEM DES MISS ETRANGERES” [Séminaire des Missions étrangères]. Small tear (strappo) between pp. 157-166; small wormhole from p. 241 to p. 300.
Rare and important second edition edited by François de Foix. Are added the seventeenth and eighteenth book that were not present in the first edition, published in Paris in 1566: these two books deal with the regular solids. François de Foix Candale Count, mathematician and alchemist, is best known for the translation and commentary of Euclid. It was among the first to make use of nominal definitions, in contrast to the actual definitions, today the basis of modern logic of mathematics accommodation. In 1591 he founded the University of Bordeaux geometry professorship. This edition is valuable not only for the accuracy of the text for typographical elegance and sharpness of geometric figures: was printed in Lyon by Jean de Tournes, as indicated in the Legal Notice in order. Prestigious provenance, from Séminaire des missions étrangères, founded in 1663 by Bernard de Sainte-Thérèze.
