Constructing Saints in Greek and Latin Hagiography. Heroes and Heroines in Late Antique and Medieval Narrative
, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, 182 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:1 b/w, Language(s):English, French. ISBN 9782503602820.
Summary This book explores representations of saints in a variety of Latin and Greek late antique hagiographical narratives, such as saints' Lives, martyr acts, miracle collections, and edifying tales. The book examines techniques through which the saints featured in such texts are depicted as heroes and heroines, i.e., as extraordinary characters exhibiting both exemplary behaviour and a set of specific qualities that distinguish them from others. The book inscribes itself in a growing body of relatively recent scholarship that approaches hagiographical accounts not just as historical sources but also as narrative constructions. As such, it contributes to the development of a scholarly rationale which increasingly values imaginative and fictional aspects of hagiography in their own right, with the aim of answering broader questions about narrative creativity and ideology. For instance, individual chapters examine how hagiographical accounts mobilize and capitalize on earlier literary and rhetorical traditions or narrative models. These questions are specifically addressed to explore the narrative construction of characters. The chapters thereby encourage us to acknowledge that many hagiographers were more skilful than is often accepted.

De universali Principio aequilibrii & motus, in Vi viva reperto, deque nexu inter Vim Vivam & Sctionem, utriusque Minimo, Dissertatio. (+) ...continuata & finita. (2 Parts).
Leipzig, Gleditsch & Lanckis, 1751. 4to. No wrappers. In: ""Nova Acta Eruditorum, Anno MDCCLI"", March- Issue, Pars I-II. Entire issue in 2 parts offered. With titlepage to the volume 1751. Pp. 97-192. Koenig's paper: pp. 125-135 a. pp. 162-176. With 2 engraved plates. Titlepage with 2 stamps and a bit soiled. Leaves as usual a bit browned.
First printing of this important paper in which Koenig set forth his ""Law of least Action"". The law states that the kinetic energy of a system of mass points is equal to the sum of the kinetic energy of the motion of the system relative to the center of gravity and of the kinetic energy of the total mass of the system considered as a whole, which moves as the center of gravity of the system.""While still in Franeker, Koenig wrote the draft of his important essay on the principle of least action, which was directed against Maupertuis. The controversy touched off by this work, which was published in March 1751, resulted in perhaps the ugliest of all the famous scientific disputes. Its principal figures were Koenig, Maupertuis, Euler, Frederick II, and Voltaire" and, as is well known, it left an unseemly stain on Euler’s otherwise untarnished escutcheon. The quarrel occupied Koenig’s last years almost completely" moreover, he had been ill for several years before it started. Koenig emerged the moral victor from this affair, in which all the great scientists of Europe—except Maupertuis and Euler—were on his side. The later finding of Kabitz2 testifies to Koenig’s irreproachable character.""(DSB).

Easton, PA., Mack printing Compagny, 1931. Royal8vo. Contemp. full cloth. Spine gilt and with gilt lettering. In: ""Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America"", Vol. 17. VII,710 pp. (Entire volume offered). The papers: pp. 315-318, 650-655 and 656-660.
First editions of these importent papers in statistical mechanics. The so-called Koopman-von Neumann mechanics is a description of classical mechanics in terms of Hilbert space, introduced by Bernard Koopman (the paper offered) and John von Neumann in 1931 and 1932. Ergodicity was introduced by Boltzmann, but the modern theory started from the paper by Koopman, and has been a cornerstone of statistical mechanics since. The ergodic method has found impressive applications in the fields of statistical mechanics, number theory, probability theory, harmonic analysis, and combinatorics.As Koopman and von Neumann demonstrated, a Hilbert space of complex, square integrable wavefunctions can be defined in which classical mechanics can be formulated as an operatorial theory similar to quantum mechanics.Birkhoff's proof (in the third paper offered) of ""the ergodic theorem was deemed as importent as his proof of Poincare's geometric theorem"" (Landmarks Writing in Western Mathematics 1640-1940, p. 877).

First printing of one the papers in which Korn describes his invention in 1902 of the telephotographic machine (later the fax-machine).In 1902, Arthur Korn (1870-1945) in Germany invented telephotography, a means for transmitting still photographs by means of electrical wires. In 1907, Korn sent the first inter-city fax when he transmitted a photograph from Munich to Berlin. By 1906 his equipment was being put into regular service for transmission of newspaper photographs between Munich and Berlin via telegraph circuits. (Shiers & Shiers ""Early Televison"" No.303).
