‎Scarce first edition, presentation-copy, of the first book explicitly devoted to solar energy, ""Solar Energy and its Industrial Applications"", which coincided with the unveiling of Mouchot's largest solar steam engine, the so-called ""Sun Engine"", in 1869, which caused a revolution in the development of solar thermal power. His 1869 work constitutes a milestone of what we now call ""green energy"", as it laid the foundation for our understanding of the conversion of solar radiation into mechanical power driven by steam.The PRESENTATION-INSCRIPTION, to the half-title reads: ""|a Monsieur Burdallot/ hommage de l'auteur/ A. Mouchot"". Auguste Mouchot was a French mathematics teacher, who in the 1860'ies became famous as the designer (and patent-taker) of the first machine that generated electricity with solar thermal energy electricity by the exposure of the sun. Mouchot began his work with solar energy in 1860 after expressing grave concerns about his country's dependence on coal. His work on solar energy and on the development of his sun machine forms the basis for the later developments on solar energy. ""The work of Adams, Ericsson, and Shuman had been directly influenced by the solar conceptions of Augustin Mouchot, a man who arrived on the scene in nineteenth century France at precisely that moment when his ideas were likely to attract the most attention. It was a time when French industrial might was at a peak and her leaders open to new ideas, none more so than her emperor. In 1867, to commemorate the explosion of technology that had accompanied the industrial and artistic carnival over which he had presided for 15 years, France's Napoleon III decided to invite the whole world to an international exposition that he would host in Paris."" (Kryza, The Power of Light, p. 147). ""His initial experiments involved a glass-enclosed, water-filled iron cauldron, in which sunlight passed through a glass cover, heating the water. This simple arrangement boiled water, but it also produced small quantities of steam. Mouchot added a reflector to concentrate additional radiation onto the cauldron, thus increasing the steam output. He succeeded in using his apparatus to operate a small, conventional steam engine. Impressed by Mouchot's device, Emperor Napoleon III offered financial assistance, which Mouchot used to produce refinements to the energy system. Mouchot's work help lay the foundation for our current understanding of the conversion of solar radiation into mechanical power driven by steam.The publication of his book on solar energy, ""La Chaleur solaire et ses Applications industrielles"" (1869), coincided with the unveiling of the largest solar steam engine he had yet built. This engine was displayed in Paris until the city fell under siege during the Franco-Prussian War in 1871, and was not found after the siege ended."" (The Energy Library).‎

‎arithmetique commerciale du XVe siecle: Le 'Compendy de la praticque des nombres' de Barthelemy de Romans,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2004 Hardback, 762 p., 155 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503511962.‎

‎Le Compendy de la praticque des nombres, second traite du manuscrit S-XXVI-6 conserve a la Bibliotheque Malatestiana de Cesena en Italie, est au centre de ce travail. Il s'agit d'un traite d'algorisme affilie au groupe des "arithmetiques commerciales" francaises de la fin du Moyen Age. Ecrit au milieu du XVe siecle par le frere dominicain Barthelemy de Romans, il fut remanie par son auteur qui acheva en 1476 la redaction du texte que nous possedons. Le Compendy est un relais essentiel dans la transmission de l'algorisme. Inspire par un traite anonyme compose a Pamiers dans les premieres decennies du siecle, il a aussi puise a d'autres sources, proches du Liber abbaci de Leonard de Pise. Nicolas Chuquet s'en est par la suite fortement inspire pour les parties arithmetiques du Triparty en la science des nombres et comme fonds documentaire pour le choix des problemes. Barthelemy est un lettre, docteur en theologie, qui s'est interesse par ailleurs a la formation mathematique des marchands. Toutefois, dans le cas du Compendy, l'environnement commercial est surtout un pretexte a reflechir sur la resolution generale de quelques types de problemes lineaires. L'auteur souhaite affiner l'intelligence de ses lecteurs ; manifestement son ouvrage ne s'adresse pas au debutant et presente peu d'interet pour qui veut se former aux mathematiques du negoce. Le Compendy est une ?uvre originale et forte, a la frontiere entre manuel de pratique et essai de theorisation, qui se demarque nettement des autres arithmetiques commerciales de l'epoque. La premiere partie de ce livre est une etude autour du Compendy de la praticque des nombres, qui tente d'abord de cerner la place du traite dans le reseau des arithmetiques marchandes meridionales, puis se recentre sur les problemes lineaires privilegies par Barthelemy : analyse mathematique, regard sur les methodes, examen des sources historiques des problemes etudies. Une etude de la langue vient a la fin, qui scrute ses caracteres marquants et observe la maniere dont l'ecriture soutient a la fois des ambitions scientifiques inhabituelles et une volonte enseignante forte. La seconde partie est consacree a l'edition commentee du traite ; le texte est double d'une traduction en francais moderne pour la partie qui fait l'interet et l'originalite de l'ouvrage de Barthelemy.

‎Directions for making the best Composition for the Metals of reflecting Telescopes" togethe with a Description of the Process for grinding, polishing, and giving the great Speculum the true parabolic Curve. Read Feb. 27. March 6. and 13. 1777.‎

‎(London, W. Bowyer and J. Nichols, 1777). 4to. Extracted from ""Philosophical Transactions"", Year 1777. Vol. 67 - Part I. Pp. 296-349 and 1 folded engraved plate. Wide-margined, clean and fine.‎

‎First printing of Mudge's importent paper in which he describes his new mechanical methods of making parabolic mirrors, and introducing af new composition of the alloy. Like his modern counterparts, Mudge created an apparatus to minimize the role of the technician and the possibility of errors. ""On 29 May 1777 Mudge was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society, and in the same year was awarded the Copley medal for his ‘Directions for making the best Composition for the Metals for reflecting Telescopes"" together with a Description of the Process for Grinding, Polishing, and giving the great Speculum the true Parabolic Curve,’ which were communicated by the author to the society, and printed in the Philosophical Transactions (1777, lxvii. 296). The ‘Directions’ were also issued separately by Bowyer (London, 1778). Sir John Pringle, the president, in making the presentation, remarked that Isaac Newton had predicted the role of mechanical devices in making parabolic mirrors.""(Wikipedia).‎

‎Ottoman Silk Textiles of the Royal Museum of Art and History in Brussels,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2004 Hardback, 146 pages., 16 colour ill., ills., 297 x 210 mm. FINE ISBN 9782503511863.‎

‎The aim of this catalogue is to publish the 43 Ottoman textiles which are preserved in the Royal Museums of Art and History. Except two for which we are nor sure, these specimens were woven in the major metropolitan weaving centres of the Ottoman Empire namely Bursa, Istanbul and their environs. All date from the period between the late 15th to the early 19th century. Two types of weaves are represented. Firstly the velvets of which the collection counts 25 examples, one of them being an important catma, probably the earliest preserved in the world. Follow the kemha or lampas fabrics, of which we preserve 16 specimens, 6 of them bearing inscriptions, the others decorated with various patterns. The third main type of Ottoman weaves, the seraser or cloth of gold and silver, rare in Western collections, is not represented here. Finally, the collection contains two silks in a distinctive weave, an extended tabby, of which one is a military banner. Although these fall slightly out of the otherwise homogeneous group, they where not excluded from this study because certainly produced within the Ottoman realm. This publication puts on record a status quaestionis of the knowledge we gathered the last ten years on the account of this group of silks and to place it at the disposal of other museum curators and researchers. Since the scrutiny of the weaving technology and of the natural dye analyses can lead to a better understanding of the silk industry and offers at the same time concrete elements to delimit groups of textiles and of -who knows in the future- workshops or production centres, special focus is laid on these aspects.
