broché. Etat : Neuf. Édité par Micheline Decorps-Foulquier, traduit par Jean-Yves Guillaumin. La Dioptre d'Héron d'Alexandrie est un traité tout à fait étonnant et original en ce sens qu'il mêle étroitement la théorie mathématique et des applications techniques diverses. On y apprend tout aussi bien, par exemple, à calculer la surface d'un triangle quelconque dont on ne connaît que les côtés, qu'à prendre les niveaux nécessaires pour l'établissement d'une conduite d'eau, ou à adapter des regards sur le parcours d'un aqueduc souterrain, dont un autre chapitre célèbre enseigne à calculer le tracé. La dioptre, dont la construction est minutieusement décrite par Héron au début du livre, a de multiples utilisations dont s'enorgueillit l'auteur, au point que cet instrument pourrait être considéré comme symbolique des travaux héroniens comme la groma l'est de ceux des arpenteurs romains. Dans le traité se réunissent les deux personnages qui coexistent en Héron d'Alexandrie, le géomètre euclidien auteur des Metrica et l'ingénieur, particulièrement connu comme constructeur d'automates. Le texte, soigneusement édité et traduit selon des critères appropriés, est équipé d'un important appareil d'analyses et de commentaires visant à le resituer dans le contexte de la science et de la technique antiques dont il est un des fleurons remarquables.

souple. Etat : Bon. 1 vol. in-8 br., Imprimerie A. Lainé et J. Havard, Paris, 1866, 63 pp. et 4 planches dépliantes Rare exemplaire de cette traduction et plus encore, de cette restitution du "Traité de la Chirobaliste" d'Héron d'Alexandrie, dont le texte grec avait été publié par l'abbé Baldi en 1616 puis avec une version latine par Thévenot (1693), chacune de ces versions restant très altérée. La difficulté du texte avait rebuté nombre de commentateurs, et Vincent s'affronte ici à une tâche très complexe. Le texte est illustré de 4 planches dépliantes. Bon état (couv. un peu frottée, mention autographe de l'auteur en couv., nom du dédicataire effacée). Langue: Français.

Couverture rigide. Etat : Bon. Edition originale. ---- EDITION ORIGINALE de cette traduction par Bernadino BALDI du livre des Automates d'HERON D'ALEXANDRIE ---- Venise, Girolamo Porto, 1589, un volume in 4 (20 cm x 15,3 cm)relié en cartonnage bradel, tranches rouges (reliure XIXème siècle), (tout petit manque de papier à la partie inférieure du dos, mouillures pâles, quelques rousseurs), 1 titre gravé, 47pp., (1pp.), 11 BOIS GRAVES et 11 GRAVURES SUR CUIVRE dont 6 à pleine page"At Commandino's suggestion, BALDI translated the Automata of Hero of Alexandria into italian prefaced by a history of mechanics.". (DSB I, p. 419/420) ---- "The Automata of Hero of Alexandria describes two sorts of puppet shows, one moving and the other stationary ; both of them perform without being touched by human hands. The drinving power in both cases was a heavy lead witht resting on a heap of millet grans which escaped through a hole. The weight was attached by a rope to an axle, and the turning of this axle brought about all the movements by means of strings and drums. Strins and drums constituted practically all the machinery ; no springs or cogwheels were used. It represents A MARVEL OF INGENUITY with very scant mechanical means". (DSB VI pp. 312/313)**7992/ARB6.

in-4. 2ff. 70pp. (i.e. 80). Plein vélin souple du temps, titre manuscrit au dos. Edition Originale de cet ouvrage de l'inventeur et mathématicien grec Héron d'Alexandrie (1er siècle après J.C.), consacré aux automates et dispositifs mécaniques de son invention. "Des oiseaux chanteurs, des marionnettes, des machines à sous, une pompe à incendie, un hydraule et, son invention la plus célèbre, l'éolipile. Cette machine, la plus ancienne à utiliser la vapeur, est constituée d'une sphère montée sur une marmite avec une tige axiale et munie de deux tuyères qui produisent un mouvement de rotation quand la vapeur s'échappe" (Encyclopaeida Universalis). "Although many of the devices are toys or parlor-tricks, that was a fashion of the day, and Hero's matter-of-fact treatment clearly indicates that his interest was in the way they worked. Cardwell notes that Hero of Alexandria had, or at least proposed, a model steam engine in the form of a reaction turbine, that would actually work". Nombreuses figures sur bois dans le texte représentant les différents mécanismes. Très rare impression d'Urbino où ne furent apparemment imprimés que trois livres tout au long du 16e siècle, tous imprimés en 1575 dans le second atelier connu de la ville. Le premier avait été conduit par un imprimeur itinérant, Heinrich de Cologne, qui y avait imprimé quelques ouvrages à la fin du 15e siècle. Bel exemplaire très pur dans son vélin souple d'origine. Roberts and Trent, 161. D.S.B., VI, pp.312-313.

Urbini [Urbin], sans nom d'éditeur [Imprimé par D. Frisolini], 1575. Petit in-quarto (167 X 226) vélin souple ivoire (reliure ancienne), chemise portefeuille de toile rouge, étui demi-chagrin rouge vif, filet doré sur les plats, dos cinq nerfs sertis de filets à froid, auteur et titre dorés, date en queue (chemise et étui modernes); (2) ff. de titre et dédicace, 80 ff. Petit manque doublé sur la page de titre qui a été remontée, quelques petits trous de vers sans galerie des premiers feuillets jusqu'au feuillet 45, la plupart du temps en marge, rousseurs éparses; la numérotation des feuillets 40, 78 et 80 est erronée, mais l'exemplaire est bien complet. L'exemplaire a été remboité dans une reliure ancienne. ÉDITION PRINCEPS des "Pneumatiques" de Héron d'Alexandrie. Elle est illustrée de deux grandes lettrines et de 89 DESSINS gravés sur bois dans le texte ou à pleine page, reproduisant différents instruments utilisés dans les expériences décrites par l'auteur. PREMIÈRE TRADUCTION LATINE DE CE TRAITÉ : ce texte a été traduit du grec en latin par Federico COMMANDINO (1509-1575), humaniste et mathématicien italien, qui fut le principal traducteur et restaurateur des oeuvres scientifiques de l'Antiquité; il semble avoir été également le propriétaire de l'officine de la commune italienne d'Urbin dans laquelle l'imprimeur Dominico Frisolini réalisa ce volume. Cette édition a été publiée par Valerio Spacciuoli qui signe la dédicace à Jules de Ruverio, cardinal d'Urbin. LE LIVRE LE PLUS CÉLÈBRE D'HÉRON D'ALEXANDRIE À LA RENAISSANCE : le mot "pneumatiques" désigne un ensemble d'appareils qui utilisent le "souffle", pneuma en grec, c'est-à-dire la pression de l'air, de la vapeur et également de l'eau, avec usage de siphons, pour obtenir une réaction ou un mouvement. Certains appareils peuvent être utiles, comme la pompe à incendie, ou des dispositifs permettant d'alimenter automatiquement une lampe en huile ; mais d'autres ont un caractère ludique nettement affirmé, par exemple ceux qui permettent d'obtenir des chants d'oiseaux ou de la musique. D'autres enfin ont un caractère merveilleux, propre à étonner le spectateur ; c'est le cas de récipients où l'on verse de l'eau et d'où il coule du vin, par exemple. UN INVENTEUR DE GÉNIE : le grec Héron d'Alexandrie a vécu, selon toute vraisemblance, au milieu du Ier siècle après J.-C. Inventeur de machines ingénieuses, très délicates de construction, dont le fameux éolipyle, précurseur de la machine à vapeur, et l'ingénieux appareil pneumatique appelé «la fontaine de Héron», il s'inscrit dans une longue lignée de "mécaniciens" : pompe aspirante, orgue hydraulique, siphon, clepsydre, fontaine intermittente, appareils qui utilisent la force élastique ou motrice de l'air sont ainsi décrits dans cet ouvrage. Dans ses "Mécaniques", il explique comment calculer la distance entre Rome et Alexandrie en observant la même éclipse de lune depuis ces deux villes, et cette éclipse, qu'il a certainement observée, s'est produite en 62 après J.-C. Curieusement, Héron d'Alexandrie a fait l?objet de préjugés qui ont perduré au siècle positiviste, et dont Caillet s'est fait l'écho: «ce traité appartient moins à la science sérieuse qu'à la physique amusante». Ce n'est qu'avec des historiens comme Duhem ou Bertrand Gille qu'on a pu mesurer l'ampleur du génie de Héron l'Ancien. AGRÉABLE EXEMPLAIRE de ce volume scientifique rare. (Provenance: J. W.
