EULER, Leonhard (1707-1783)

Opuscula Analytica. St. Petersburg: Academia Imperialis Scientiarum, 1783-1785.

Rare first edition of this collection of 28 previously unpublished mathematical papers by Euler, the majority of which deal with topics in number theory. The most important is ‘Observationes circa divisionem quadratorum per numeros primos’, read at the St. Petersburg Academy in 1772, which gives the first clear statement of the ‘law of quadratic reciprocity’ called the ‘golden theorem’ by Gauss who gave its first proof in his Disquisitiones Arithmeticae (1801). We can only trace one other complete copy at auction, last sold in these rooms 15 December 2021, lot 165 (£62,500).



2 volumes in one, large quarto (254 x 205mm). 2 folding engraved plates (60mm marginal tear repaired without loss to II.B2, small marginal chip to corner of II.2G2, lower margin of II.2P4 cut irregularly due to paper flaw, old paper repair to second folding plate on verso in non-engraved area, some occasional faint insignificant browning and dampstaining). Modern leather panelled in blind.
