First edition of this of this famous work of horology, astronomy and navigation.
The author presents the different kinds of dials, how to trace them and construct them on flat surfaces, or "on the convexity of a globe."
Chapters deal with Babylonian, Italian and Jewish clocks and dials, signs of the zodiac, celestial houses, golden numbers, the age of the moon, the ebb and flow of the sea, etc.

This book has been very successful and has often been reissued, but this first edition is very rare.

Second edition.
This second edition brings together the Theory of the Moon and the Tables of the Moon published by Clairaut in 1752 and 1754 which are the first approximate resolution of the three-body problem. Between 1747 and 1754, three of the greatest mathematicians of their time, Euler, D'Alembert and Clairaut, opposed each other on a common project: to develop new mathematical methods in order to resolve the complex problems posed by the movement of the Moon, subject to both to the gravitational pull of the Earth and the Sun. The issue was both scientific and economic since the establishment of precise astronomical tables was necessary for the reliability of navigation at sea.

First edition.
Clairaut's major work in which he demonstrates the theorem, known as "Clairaut's theorem", which relates the geometric flattening f on the surface of a rotating ellipsoid to a kinetic quantity (the geodynamic form factor J2) and to a dynamic quantity q, representing the ratio of centrifugal force to gravity at the equator. He thus mathematically demonstrates Newton's intuition of an Earth flattened at the poles.

Tabulae Manuales Logarithmicae ad Calculum Astronomicum, in specie Tabb. Rudolphinarum compendiose tractandum mire utiles.

Strasbourg, Theodore Lerse, 1700.

Second and first obtainable edition.

In 1627, Kepler published his final work, the Tabulae Rudolphinae, an ephemeris of planetary motions of unprecedented accuracy. This feat was only possible thanks to the use of logarithmic tables, which allowed him to shorten the immense calculations necessary for the precision of these predictions.

The use of logarithmic calculation is thus at the heart of Kepler’s astronomical work. He discovered Napier’s work in 1617, but he preferred to construct his own tables using a new geometric approach. More accurate than those of his predecessor, Kepler’s tables were published in Mathematici chilias logarithmorum in 1624.

For the Tabulae Rudolphinae, Kepler modified his logarithmic tables by changing the intervals of tabulation..

After Kepler's death in 1630, his son-in-law Jacob Bartsch wanted to propose a portable and less expensive version of the logarithmic tables used for the calculations of the Tabulae, which had been published in folio format. Bartsch had them published in 16mo format, under the title Logarithmorum logisticorum (Sagan, 1631).

Our edition was given by the French mathematician Jean Caspar Eisenschmidt, who corresponded with Cassini in Strasbourg. In his introduction, Eisenschmidt explains that the print run of the original edition had been extremely limited due to financial problems. The rarity of copies of the Sagan edition, even at the time, necessitated a new edition.

A very fresh copy.

CLAIRAUT, Alexis.

Tables de la Lune, calculées suivant la théorie de la gravitation universelle.

Paris, Durand, 1754.

2500 €

First edition of the tables of the Moon resulting from the calculations of Alexis Clairaut on the problem of the three bodies.

"Between 1747 and 1754, three of the greatest mathematicians of their time, Euler, D'Alembert and Clairaut, oppose a common project: to develop new mathematical methods in order to solve the complex problem posed by the movement of the Moon, submitted at the same time to the gravitational attraction of the Earth and the Sun. [...] But the stake is not only mathematical, it became indeed urgent, for the needs of the astronomical navigation, for the safety of the roads maritime and commercial, and for the protection of crews to finally have tables giving the ecliptic longitude of the Moon with sufficient precision in order to make the lunar distance method applicable at sea. " (Guy Boistel. Beyond the problem of the three bodies: Alexis Clairaut and his nautical tables of the Moon (1751-1765) Proceedings of the congress on the history of science and technology, Poitiers, May 20-22, 2004).

The stake both scientific and commercial explains why Clairaut in the introduction of his tables indicates the precise chronology of the disclosure to the public of his mathematical discoveries. Although proposing the most accurate mathematical solution of the problem of the three bodies, it will be preceded by the German Mayer who publishes in 1753 his tables established in an empirical way. And it is Mayer who will be awarded by the Board of Longitude the prize of 3000 pounds sterling to the chagrin of Clairaut.

Tables astronomiques de M. Hallei.

Paris, Durand & Pissot, 1754-1759.

950 €

First edition in French of Halley's astronomical tables after the original in Latin of 1749.
The first volume supervised by Chappe d'Auteroche presents the tables of the Sun and the Moon with additions by Le Monnier.
The second volume supervised by Jérôme De Lalande presents the tables of planets and comets, and is preceded by a translation of the theory of comets by Halley.
More than the Halley's text, Lalande presents for the first time his account of the return of the 1682 comet in 1759. Lalande's work is indeed published shortly after the return of the 1682 comet (henceforth called "Halley's comet") whose the English scientist had predicted, according to the Newtonian equations, the passage in the terrestrial sky at the end of the year 1758 or the beginning of the year 1759... which was indeed the case.
This experimental proof of the theories of Newton was a milestone in astronomy.

First edition.
Pierre Béron (1799-1871) was a Bulgarian philosopher and scientist. His work Physique Céleste (Celestial Physics) explores the system of the world, addressing both the apparent distribution of celestial bodies, deduced from perspective, and their actual distribution, based on astrogony (a theory of the formation and evolution of stars). This work reflects the 19th-century scientific debates concerning cosmology and astronomy, seeking to reconcile observations and theories on the structure of the universe. Béron was a controversial figure, and his works attempted to propose a philosophical and scientific synthesis.

Among them is Pierre Bouguer's article on how to determine the Earth's shape. The question of the Earth's shape was one of the most pressing scientific problems of the 18th century. Newton's work predicted that the Earth should be a spheroid flattened at the poles (oblate), while earlier measurements by Cassini seemed to indicate an elongated spheroid (prolate). Bouguer's article describes the theoretical method for determining this shape by measuring the length of one degree of meridian at different latitudes.
