LEIBNIZ, Gottfried Wilhelm von (1646-1716)

'Nova methodus pro maximis et minimis, itemque tangentibus, quae nec fractas, nec irrationales quantitates moratur, & singulare pro illis calculi genus' [pp. 467-473]. In: Acta Eruditorum Anno MDCLXXXIV. Leipzig: Christopher Günther for Johann Gross and J.F. Gleditsch, 1684.

The first announcement of differential calculus. 'The infinitesimal calculus originated in the 17th century with the researches of Kepler, Cavalieri, Torrecelli, Fermat and Barrow, but the two independent inventors of the subject, as we understand it today, were Newton … and Leibniz. The subsequent controversy in the early part of the 18th century as to the priority of their discoveries— one of the most notorious disputes in the history of science—led to an unfortunate divorce of the English from the Continental mathematics that lasted until the end of the first quarter of the 19th century … With the calculus a new era began in mathematics, and the development of mathematical physics since the 17th century would not have been possible without the aid of this powerful technique' (PMM). The Acta eruditorum was established in imitation of the Journal des Savans in 1682 in Berlin. Dibner 109; Grolier/Horblit 66a; Norman 1326; PMM 160.



Small quarto (202 x 153mm). 14 engraved plates, including one for Leibniz's paper, some folding, other illustrations in text (text and plates rather browned, a few text leaves detached or becoming so, plate 5 with tear along fold, repaired tear to folding plate 8). Modern calf, spine in compartments with raised bands, preserved in a modern calf folding box. Provenance: old signature on title dated 1919.
