‎Von der Bernoullischen Brachistochrone zum Kalibrator-Konzept Ein historischer Abriss zur Entstehung der Feldtheorie in der Variationsrechnung (hinreichende Bedingungen in der Variationsrechnung),‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2007 Hardback, 828 p., 155 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503524382.‎

‎Das Buch stellt Grundlagenmaterial fur weitere Forschung in der Geschichte der Variationsrechnung zur Verfugung. Eine solche umfangreiche Auswertung von Quellen hat es in dieser Disziplin bislang noch nicht gegeben. Der Autor hat nicht nur die deutschen, osterreichischen und Schweizer einschlagigen Archive besucht, sondern auch Archive in Cambridge, Stockholm (Mittag-Leffler-Institut), Toronto und Chicago - alles Orte, die wichtig fur die Variationsrechnung waren. Dabei wurden viele sehr wichtige Dinge untersucht, die bisher nicht bekannt waren bzw. nicht beachtet wurden; Beispiele sind das Mathematische Notizbuch von Hilbert oder der Briefwechsel zwischen Weierstrass und H.A. Schwarz, etwa 100 Vorlesungsmitschriften von Weierstrass, ca. 30 unbekannte Vorlesungsmitschriften von J.C. Fields (der die Fields Medaille gestiftet hat), die einen einzigartigen Einblick in die Berliner Vorlesungen um 1900 geben, usw. Unangesehen der Interpretation der Quellen, wird bereits das Auffinden und Zitieren wichtiger Stellen fur die weitere Geschichtsschreibung der Variationsrechnung von grossem Nutzen sein. Fast alle Archiv-Quellen werden erstmals publiziert. Der Autor hat in bisher nicht erfolgtem Masse diese gedruckten Veroffentlichungen durch Vorarbeiten, Vorlesungen und Seminare sowie Briefwechsel erganzt und so neue Einblicke erhalten. Das gilt z.B. besonders fur die bahnbrechenden Leistungen von Weierstrass, der so gut wie nichts zur Variationsrechnung publiziert hat, sondern nur uber seine Vorlesungen gewirkt hat.

‎First appearance of pioneer-paper in astronomical photography, where he took wet-plate photographs of the moon-blocked sun during a total solar eclipse, and from them discovered solar prominences. - This was the first solar eclipse to be photographed, using the Kew Photoheliograph, a purpose-built combined camera and telescope designed by de la Rue and built in 1857 by Andrew Ross. De la Rue, Warren 1815-89, British scientist and inventor. Especially noted as an astronomer, he was a pioneer in celestial photography. He adapted the wet-plate process to lunar photography and invented (1858) for Kew Observatory a photoheliograph, the first device to give good solar pictures. His photographs of a solar eclipse in 1860 demonstrated that prominences observed at the sun's edge are of solar origin. De la Rue is known also for his research in chemistry, solar physics, and electrical discharge through gases.In 1860 De la Rue took the photoheliograph to Spain for the purpose of photographing the total solar eclipse which occurred on 18 July of that year. This expedition formed the subject of the Bakerian Lecture - the paper offered -. The photographs obtained on that occasion proved beyond doubt the solar character of the prominences or red flames, seen around the limb of the moon during a solar eclipse. In 1873 De la Rue gave up active work in astronomy, and presented most of his astronomical instruments to the university observatory, Oxford. Subsequently, in the year 1887, he provided the same observatory with a 13-inch refractor to enable it to take part in the International Photographic Survey of the Heavens.‎

‎ANATOMIA DEL CAVALLO, INFERMITA' ET SUOI RIMEDII.‎

‎Opera nuova, degna di qualsivoglia Prencipe, & Cavaliere, & molto necessaria à Filosofi, Medici, Cavallerizzi & Marescalchi. Adornata di bellissime Figure, le quali dimostrano tutta l'Anatomia di esso Cavallo. Divisa in due volumi. appresso Lorenzo Basegio, Venetia, 1707. In-4 p., 2 voll. in 1, cartonato rustico coevo (restaur. all'ang. infer. per manc.; risg. rifatti), pp. (4),250; 266; grande marca tipografica ai due frontespizi. Il volume è molto ben illustrato da 64 xilografie a piena pag. nel t. che raffigurano il cavallo dal punto di vista anatomico. Il 1° volume "in cinque Libri, copiosamente dichiara tutte le cose appartenenti alla detta Anatomia", il 2° "in sei Libri tratta pienamente di tutte l'infermità del Cavallo & suoi rimedi".Magnifica opera, una delle pietre miliari della moderna medicina veterinaria, pubblicata per la prima volta a Bologna nel 1598: raggiunse le 15 ristampe nel 1769.Cfr. De Renzi "Storia della medicina in Italia",III,137: "Il Senatore bolognese Carlo Ruini diede la migliore monografia anatomica di quel tempo, e la sua Anatomia del Cavallo è stata, al dire di Cuvier, spogliata da tutti quei che hanno scritto sullo stesso argomento nei secoli XVII e XVIII" - Morton,285: "First book devoted exclusively to the structure of a single species other than man. Besides being one of the foundation-stones of modern veterinary medicine, it contains a description of the lesser circulation. The admirable plates are by some authorities attributed to Leonardo" - Mennessier,II, p. 465 - Nissen,I,3514 - Brunet,IV,1458 - Graesse,VI,191.Prime 73 cc. ben restaur. all'angolo infer. per manc. (da un max. di cm. 6x6 a 2x3); la tav. I (pp. 133/134), mancante di metà figura (ora riprodotta su carta antica), è stata restaur. in modo eccellente; lieve alone al marg. bianco, ma certamente un buon esemplare con barbe.‎
