[History of the Mathematical Sciences in Italy, from the Revival of Letters to the End of the Seventeenth Century]
Jules Renouard & Cie|Paris 1838-1841|14.3 x 22.5 cm|4 volumes brochés
First and only edition, with a tumultuous publishing history: the first volume had been printed as early as 1835 by Paulin, but the entire edition was destroyed in the fire on rue du Pot-au-Fer. The author subsequently revised his work and published a new version in 1838, simultaneously with the second volume.
Minor marginal defects to spines and covers; the second volume is bound in a temporary plain wrapper (lacking the printed covers); scattered foxing.
