[col., v. I :] in Alma Complutensi Universitate, apud Michaelem de Eguia xv. Decembris, 1526 



' VERY RARE, and typographically of great interest, having been printed only 10 years after the famous Complutensian 

 Polyglott Bible. It was unknown to Houzeau-Lancaster, who only quotes (No. 1643) a folio edition of Paris of the above 

 date, edited by ORONTIUS FIN^EUS. 



Ciruelo's mathematics comprise Arithmetic, Geometry, Circle-Squaring (intending a solution of the problem, and 

 unknown to Prof, de Morgan), and Perspective. It has no colophon, which may possibly be missing. At end is ' Petri 

 Cirueli Darocensis questiuncula preuia in MUSICAM speculativam Divi SEVERINI BOETII (sign. A 18, B 18, and C 5 leaves 

 3 apparently missing in all 23 11.), which does not seem to belong to the work, as the last pages bear the date 1528. 



'Ciruelo fut un des hommes qui contribuerent le plus a la diffusion des sciences exactes au X VI e siccle.' Blogr. Gen.

One of the last editions of the work, interesting as showing its'continued popularity, in spite of the numerous errors 

 it contains, already pointed out by Barozzi in 1570. It was unknown to Houzeau-Lancaster (No. 1653), who mention the 

 edition of 1601 as the last of this issue.

' In spite of a rent in the balloon (which he partially repaired with his neckcloth) he nearly succeeded in crossing the 

 Channel ; but when over Anglesey a strong southerly current carried him out to sea, and he had a most perilous escape, 

 being rescued by a fishing craft, which ran its bowsprit through the balloon.' D. N. B. 



The above account contains a poem by ERASMUS DARWIN.

This account was unknown to Hatton Turnor. ' He rose to a great height, obtained the proper Avesterly current, and 

 managed to keep the balloon in it across St. George's Channel. In mid-channel he wrote, ' I enjoyed at a glance the 

 opposite shores of Ireland and Wales, and the entire circumference of Man '. Having started at 1.20 p.m., he alighted a 

 mile south of Holyhead at 6.45 p.m.' D. N. B. 



He was killed on his 31st ascent near Blackburn.
