LEIBNITZ, Gottfried Wilhelm (1646-1716). "Nova methodus pro maximis et minimis, itemque tangentibus, quae nec fractas, nec irrationales quantitates moratur, & singulare pro illis calculi genus." In: Acta eruditorum. 1684, pp. 467-473. Leipzig: C. Gnther for J. Gross and J.F. Gleditsch, 1684. 4 o (202 x 149 mm). Engraved plate. Contemporary vellum gilt, spine with gilt lettered morocco label. Provenance: Duc de Hytar (bookplate); Federico Gomez de la Mata (bookplate and inkstamp). FIRST EDITION OF THE FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE DIFFERENTIAL CALCULUS. "The infinitesimal calculus originated in the 17th century with the researches of Kepler, Cavalieri, Torricelli, Fermat and Barrow, but the two independent inventors of the subject, as we understand it today, were Newton and Leibnitz. 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). Dibner Heralds of Science 109; Grolier/Horblit 66a; PMM 160; Norman 1326.
