EULER, Leonhard (1707-1783).

First edition of an important work on differential calculus. The second volume of Euler's trilogy on mathematical analysis, Institutiones calculi differentialis ‘sets out the first extensive research program for differential calculus and related topics’ (Calinger, Leonhard Euler: Life, Work and Legacy). ‘This is the first text-book on the differential calculus which has any claim to be regarded as complete, and it may be said that until recently many modern treatises on the subject are based on it.’ (W. W. Rouse Ball, A Short Account of the History of Mathematics). Norman 733.



Quarto (259 x 207mm). (Faint browning.) Contemporary vellum, lettered in manuscript on spine. Provenance: Domgymnasium Magdeburg (library stamps) – ‘Bibliothecae Rev. Capit’ (inscription dated December 1805 on front pastedown) – A. Seyler (inscription on endpaper).
