Rare, unknown \o Riccardi, and one of the very few works on this interesting subject. The above copy is specially 

 interesting as containing a large number of M3. marginal notes by the Abbate Giuseppe Calandrelli, mathematician 

 (1749-1827).

Mediolani, Jo. Ant. Castellioneus, 1539 

 'Cette edition est ra.re.'—Brunet. 'A work of great merit for the time, which indirectly led to his renown as a 



mathematician, by engaging him in a correspondence with Tartaglia.' 



' Rarissimc. libro '—Riccardi. According to Prof, de Morgan it first contains the important statement that Leonardo 



Pisano was the first to introduce the Arabic numerals into Europe.

Second Original Edition, greatly enlarged and wholly rewritten. It is beautifully printed in a laige Roman type, 

 and contains for the first time the celebrated proposition : Igitur his arbitrio victonce retictix, which caused his accusation 

 of heresy, and was left out in the third ori.^inal edition of l.'ieo. The above is moreo\er an unusual issue of the second 

 edition, containing neither List of Errata nor colophon on the last 1., forming part of nearly all copies of the above edition. 



Among other important physical investigations, it contains the first description of a flour-sifting machine, and mentions 

 the sifting property of undulating air— a fact only rediscovered and made use of within recent times by F. G. Winkler. 



6722 Another Copy ; also, De Rerum Varietate Libri XVII, adjectus est Capitum, Rerum 



et Sententiarum notatu di^nissimarum Index, editio princeps ; with portrait on title and num- 

 erous woodcuts — 2 vols, folio in 1, old white vellum extra (fine copies), £5. 5* ibidem, 1554-7 



The bare first edition of 'de Rerum Varietate', and, according to Graesse, 'la seule qui n'ait pas ete mutilee'. It 

 forms a sequel to the de Suhtilitate, and, together with it, contains the author's notions on physics and metaphysics. ' The 

 chief interest of the work consists in the hints and glimpses it affords of principles beyond the comprehension of the 

 writer himself. The inorganic realm of nature he asserts to be animated no less than the organic. The infinite variability 

 of species is implied,' etc. etc. etc. — Ency. Brit. 



' Le de Suhtilitate, ainsi que le de Rcntm Varietate, renferme toutes les connaissances de Cardan en physique, en meta- 

 physique et en histoire naturelle. . . L'auteur traite tous les sujets, et fait tie son ouvrage une sorte d'en cyclopedic de la 

 science et de I'industrie au XVI« siecle ; encyclopedie qui pent ottrir de curieux renseignements.' — Biogr. Gen.

The above work by this Protestant pamphleteer and editor of the ' Weekly Pacquet of Advice from Rome ' was unknown 

 to Lowndes, Watt, Allibone, and Prof, de Morgan. It contains some very interesting chapters on contemporary pro- 

 nunciation and rules for pronouncing, besides its arithmetical interest.
