| Mathematics. First edition of Bernoulli's complete works, 1742 in 4 volumes containing nearly 200 writings by the famous Swiss mathematician Johann Bernoulli, published by Gabriel Cramer when Bernoulli was still living. "After Newton's death in 1727, Bernoulli was unchallenged as the leading mathematical preceptor to all Europe" (DSB). "He collaborated with Leibniz to produce almost all of the present elementary differential and integral calculus ... The integral calculus was published in Johann Bernoulli's ÇOpera OmniaÉ, which contains all of his mathematical papers" (Norman). Volume 4 of this copy starts with p. (3) (including t.p., exceptionally); since Norman's copy also starts with p. (3) (including t.p.), we conclude that our copy is complete.
