Memorie istorio grafiche de Regni della Morea Negroponte e Littorali fin á Salonichi. Aceresciute in guesta Seconda edizione. - [THE RECONQUEST OF PELOPONNESE (MOREA).]
Venezia, (1686). 8vo. (16,5x11 cm.). Contemp. full vellum. Halftitle-page. Engraved Title-page (the Lion of St. Mark). (8),237,1 blank,(2- Indice) pp. and 41 (of 42 ?) double-page folded engraved maps and plans (bird's-eye views or plans of fortified towns and places etc.). Internally fine and clean. Printed on good paper. A fine copy.
Second edition (the first 8vo-edition), issued the same year as the first (in folio), describing the Venetian campaign for the reconquest of the Peloponnese or Morea, from which Venice had been almost completely excluded since the Turkish conquest of the Greek island in 1458.""As is often the case with Coronelli's work, the contents may vary with each example as plates were added, subtracted or changed as the editor saw fit"" (Rodney Shirley ""Maps in the Atlases of the british Library"", T.Coro-1a, - listing only 39 maps and views for this copy).Coronelli Vincenzo Maria, an Italian geographer and draughtsman, was born at Venice about 1650. From 1681-1683 he worked in Paris on a pair of 3.85 meter diameter globes for Louis XIV, which are now in the National Library in Paris. On his return to Venice he was made cosmographer of the Republic, and founded the Academy of Argonauts (the first Geographical Society). In 1702 he became general of his order.

First edition of this monumentalwork by which Coulomb CREATED THE SCIENCE OF FRICTION.""1781 saw him win the Academy prize for his mémoir ""Théorie des Machines Simples,"" in which the results of his experiments on the friction of different bodies slipping on one another (dry, or coated with greasy substances) were presented.""(Timoshenko p. 48).""Coulomb’s most celebrated study, one that brought him immediate acclaim, was ""Théorie des machines simples,"" his prize-winning friction study of 1781. He investigated both static and dynamic friction of sliding surfaces and friction in bending of cords and in rolling. From examination of many physical parameters, he developed a series of two-term equations, the first term a constant and the second term varying with time, normal force, velocity, or other parameters. In agreement with Amontons’s work of 1699, Coulomb showed that in general there is an approximately linear relationship between friction and normal force"" but he extended the investigation considerably to show complex effects due to difference in load, materials, time of repose, lubrication, velocity, and other considerations. Coulomb’s work in friction remained a standard of theory and experiment for a century and a half, until the advent of molecular studies of friction in the twentieth century. To quote Kragelsky and Schedrov’s recent monograph (p. 52) on the history of friction: ""Coulomb’s contributions to the science of friction were exceptionally great. Without exaggeration, one can say that he created this science.""(DSB).Poggendorff I:487.,

Paris, Moutard, Panckoucke, 1780. 4to. Extract from ""Mémoires fe Mathematique et de Physique, Présentés à l'Academie des Sciences par divers Savans"", Tome IX. With titlepage to vol. IX. Pp. (2), (167-) 264 and 4 folded engraved plates. The memoir has also its own titlepage. Fine and clean. Wide-margined.
First printing of this monumental memoir (the invention of the TORSION BALANCE) dealing with the best way to construct a magnetic compass. The paper contains the design of a torsion suspension declination compass and the demonstration that the forces of torsion is proportional to the angle of twist. Coulomb received the prize awarded by the Academy for this paper drafted by the Academy in 1777 (he shared the prize with Van Swinden). - ""The importance of this memoir for Coulomb's career is that it CONTAINED ELEMENTS OF ALL HIS MAJOR PHYSICAL STUDIES: the quantitative study of magnetism, torsion and the torsion balance, friction and fluid resistance, and the germ of his theories of elasticity and magnetism.""(DSB).""Coulomb’s first writings on torsion were presented in his Academy prize-winning memoir of 1777, ""Recherches sur la meilleure maniere de fabriquer les aiguilles aimantées.""......... his simple, elegant solution to the problem of torsion in cylinders and his use of the torsion balance in physical applications were important to numerous physicists in succeeding years. In chapter 3, Coulomb developed the theory of torsion in thin silk and hair threads. Here he was the first to show how the torsion suspension could provide physicists with a method of accurately measuring extremely small forces. He showed that within certain angular limits, torsional oscillation consisted of simple harmonic motion. He examined the parameters relating the angle of twist to the length, diameter, and elastic properties of the torsion thread. In the range of simple harmonic oscillation Coulomb demonstrated that the force of torsion was proportional to the angle of twist. He used this principle in measuring small magnetic forces and also called attention to its use in measuring other forces, notably those of fluids in motion. Eventually he was able to measure forces of less than 9 x 10-4 dynes.""""Coulomb’s major memoirs in electricity and magnetism are his 1777 memoir on magnetic compasses, the famous series of seven electricity and magnetism memoirs read at the Academy from 1785 to 1791, and several magnetism memoirs prepared after the French Revolution. In his electrical studies Coulomb determined the quantitative force law, gave the notion of electrical mass, and studied charge leakage and the surface distribution of charge on conducting bodies. In magnetism he determined the quantitative force law, created a theory of magnetism based on molecular polarization, and introduced the idea of demagnetization (basically, that combinations of magnetic poles can ""cancel"" each other).""(DSB).Parkinson ""Breakthroughs"": 1777:P

Researches into the Mathematical Principles of the Theory of Wealth by Augustin Cournot 1838. Translated by Nathaniel T. Bacon with an Essay on Cournot and mathematical Economics and a Bibliography of Mathematical Economics by Irving Fisher [ Inscribed : "G. H Bousquet Don d'Irving Fisher" ]
8vo, The Macmillan Company, New York, 1927, xxiv-213 pp. with a folding plate. Rappel du titre complet : Researches into the Mathematical Principles of the Theory of Wealth by Augustin Cournot 1838. Translated by Nathaniel T. Bacon with an Essay on Cournot and mathematical Economics and a Bibliography of Mathematical Economics by Irving Fisher [ Inscribed : "G. H Bousquet Don d'Irving Fisher" ]
From Irving Fisher's library. Joseph Schumpeter described him as "the greatest economist the United States has ever produced". Good (waterstains on cover, a few manuscript annotations by G. H. Bousquet). Annotation manuscrite en garde : "G. H. Bousquet Don d'Irving Fisher" [ unidentified manuscript indication in french : Gift from Irving Fisher ]. Le professeur Georges-H. Bousquet (1900-1978) fut notamment professeur aux facultés d'Alger puis de Bordeaux. Juriste de formation initiale (docteur en droit en 1923 avec une thèse sur "L'évolution sociale en Hollande 1914-1922"), il devint un spécialiste de questions économiques, proche de Pareto et Schumpeter, ainsi qu'un islamisant de l'école de Goldziher et Snouck-Hugronje. Il fut proche de son maître en sociologie Vilfredo Pareto, dont il servit fortement la pensée, avec lequel il échangea une correspondance et qu'il rencontra, en Suisse.En septembre 1923, à Vienne et par l'intermédiaire de Paul Lazarsfeld, il fut présenté à son autre maître et ami Joseph Schumpeter. "A ce moment, Schumpeter avait 40 ans. Il était alors totalement ignoré en France, mais connu aux Etats-Unis où il avait été invité à professer quelque temps, et en Angleterre, où il avait eu également l'occasion de se faire entendre". Georges Bousquet sera fasciné par l'oeuvre de Schumpeter, qu'il fera notamment découvrir, tant par ses articles que par les discussions, à l'économiste François Perroux. Dans les années 1933-1934, les Bousquet et Schumpeter seront en contact permanent à Harvard, où Schumpeter était devenu professeur, et ou G.-H. Bousquet avait été envoyé faire un séjour de recherche, avec le soutien de la fondation Rockfeller. C'est à cette occasion que Bousquet rencontre Irving Fisher (1867-1947), l'un des premiers économistes américains de l'école néoclassique. On peut signaler que G.-H. Bousquet est l'un des quelques économistes français contemporains à être plusieurs fois cité par Schumpeter dans sa monumentale Histoire de l’Analyse Economique.

First printing of this paper announcing the discovery of Iodine. Courtois found this substance, which he suspected to be a new element, while burning algae in order to obtain sodium and potassium compounds. Although Courtois discovered the element in 1811, the announcement of it was not made until two years later after he had turned it over to Charles Desormés and Nicolas Clément.""The first publication on iodine are somewhat confusing. Courtois's research is found in a paper attributed to him (the paper offered) but actually the work of Clément.... was followed by an anonymous article (the second paper offered). Gay-Lussac. who repeated and extended Courtios's work, was responsible for this paper. Courtois himself published nothing. These two articles were immediately followed by short contributions of Gay-Lussac and Humphry Davy on the new element (third and fourth paper offered). Gay-Lussacs views (none too flattering to Davy) on the history ofthe discovery of iodine appeared in his ""Mémoire sur l'iode"" (1814).""(DSB III, p. 455). - Weeks ""Discovery of the Elements"", pp. 257-262.The volume contains further importent papers in chemistry, Guyton de Morveau ""Sur la chaux maigre"", ""Sur le dissolvant des pierres biliaires"", an importent paper by Chevreul on animal fats ""Recherches chimiques sur plusieurs corps gras, et particulierement sur leurs combinaisons avec les alcalis"", Berzelius's papers ""Mémoires sur la compositions des fluides animaux"" (first edition in French) + Suite (first edition), Parmentier etc. etc.

Material Culture and Cultural Materialisms,
Turnhout, Brepols, 2001 Hardback, XXIV+246 p., 156 x 234 mm. ISBN 9782503510743.
The essays in this collection challenge cultural materialists in different disciplines to articulate specific relationships between modern theoretical positions and the ideas and conventions that shaped the production of medieval and Renaissance cultures in Europe. The phrase 'cultural materialism', coined by Raymond Williams in 1977, names an approach to cultural analysis that interrogates the socio-economic conditions within which artefacts are produced as well as their participation in other ideological and material fields of culture. This approach, which has led to the emergence of cultural studies as a discipline, has also contributed to a sea-change within medieval and Renaissance scholarship. Disciplines that have traditionally studied cultural artefacts like literature and painting have increasingly emphasized the kinds of questions Williams articulated, focusing on the material production and ideological operation of objects once thought of in idealized or purely aesthetic terms. By the same token, historians - whose work, of necessity, has always tended to deal with the material traces of culture - have increasingly been willing to consider the social and ideological importance of art. The increasing popularity of this cultural studies approach to the past has in turn spurred investigation into other kinds of materiality. Recent historical and literary scholarship, for example, has become increasingly aware of the ways in which the lived materiality of the human body informs a range of cultural discourses. Insofar as it still typically attends to the material/ideological significance of the artefacts it considers, such scholarship falls within the generous confines of cultural studies. But where the Marxist tradition inherited from Williams tends to see economic relations as basic, this school of thought sees the experience of the body - always historicized, and understood as the basis for constant symbolic appropriation into other fields of discourse - as an alternative and perhaps more fundamental kind of materiality. Material Culture and Cultural Materialisms in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance attests to the vitality of these approaches to materialist scholarship within and across different periods, disciplines, and national traditions. New.
