LEIBNITZ, GOTTFRIED WILHELM. "Nova Methodus pro maximis et minimis, itemque tangentibus, quae nec fractas, nec irrationales quantites moratur, & singulare pro illis calculi genus." In : Acta Eruditorum [1684, pp. 467-473]. Leipzig: C. Gunther for J. Gross and J.F. Gleditsch 1682-1684. 36 issues (i.e. vols 1-3) in one vol., thick 4to, 197 x 164mm. (7 3/4 x 6 1/2in.), contemporary vellum over wooden boards, spine lettered in ink, covers dampstained and some internal dampstaining. FIRST EDITION of Nova Methodus , engraved plate, [49 plates throughout the three vols., some folding]. Dibner Heralds of Science 109; Horblit 66a; Norman 1326; PMM 160. "Leibnitz's first paper on the differential calculus, published nine years after he had independently discovered it. Although Newton had probably discovered the calculus earlier than Leibnitz, Leibnitz was the first to publish his [own] method, which employed a notation superior to that used by Newton. The priority dispute between Newton and Leibnitz over the calculus is one of the most famous controversies in the history of science; it led to a breach between English and Continental mathematics that was not healed until the early nineteenth century."--Norman. Provenance : Harrison D. Horblit, bookplate (sale, Christie's East, New York, 16 February 1994, lot 61).
