ARNAULD, Antoine (1612-1694). Nouveaux élémens de géométrie . Paris: Guillaume Desprez, 1683. Second edition of an important mathematical treatise, first published in 1667. ‘The Élémens (1667) undertakes a reworking and reordering of the Euclidean theorems in the light of the contemporary literature […] and Pascal’s influence’ (DSB I, p.292). At the end of the text is a 15pp. ‘Solution d'un des plus célèbres et des plus difficiles problèmes d'arithmétique’, attributed to Pascal, which tackles the problem of the magic square. The missing engraved plates have in this copy been skillfully recreated in early manuscript. Quarto (238 x 174mm). 4 full-page diagrams in early manuscript, woodcut headpiece incorporating mathematical instruments, initials, diagrams in the text (lacking the engraved plates, faint waterstain in quires V and X, occasional light browning). Contemporary speckled calf, spine gilt (lightly rubbed at extremities, headbands exposed). Provenance : Auxerre, Abbey of Saint-Germain, Congregation of Saint Maurus (inscription dated 1684) – Jules Riollot (author of Les carrés magiques (1907), a study of magic squares; bookplate).
