Los 132 | BERNOULLI, Daniel (1700-1782). 
BERNOULLI, Daniel (1700-1782). 

Hydrodynamica, sive de viribus et motibus fluidorum commentarii. Strasbourg: J.R. Dulsecker, 1738.

First edition of Daniel Bernoulli's most important work, the foundation of modern hydrodynamics, a term first employed in this book, and containing his formulae for calculating the velocity, duration and quantity of liquid issuing from an opening in a container. Other chapters deal with water oscillations, a theory of machinery including an extensive treatment of the screw of Archimedes, and an important section which introduces his kinetic theory of gases. The finely engraved plates by I.M. Weis contributed significantly to the accessibility of Bernoulli's text. Gedeon pp. 104-6; Norman 215.



Quarto (246 x 203mm). Title printed in red and black and with an engraved vignette, engraved head-piece, and 12 folding engraved plates by I.M. Weis (occasional light browning and spotting, one leaf with marginal stain). Contemporary sheep, spine gilt (slightest rubbing at extremities).
