Green cloth boards with white lettering on front cover. From the Preface:The articles herein put into permanent form appeared originally in the Catholic Standard and Times of Philad…elphia, Pa. They were written with the hope that here and there, they might, with God's help, renew the courage of those who have thrown down their arms and deserted the standard of Christ. It cannot be repeated too often in the ears of a sin-laden humanity that unrepentence, not sin, has peopled the Abodes of Darkness, that so long as life lasts, so long does the mercy of God reach out lovingly to the most miserable and wretched of sinners, and finally that so long as the world endures, so long will Mary, the Mother of God, be the last hope and sure refuge of even the most abandoned of sinners." 128 pages. LP.

Añadir al carritoEstado de la sobrecubierta: Hardcover. First edition. THE FIRST PUBLISHED WORK ON ALGEBRA IN FRENCH. First edition, extremely rare, of the first published work on algebra in French. This is a fine copy in a beautiful contemporary binding. Born in Lyon, then the principal commercial centre of France, La Roche was a student of Nic…olas Chuquet and published for the first time in the present work large sections from Chuquet's Le Triparty en la Science des Nombres, the most original mathematical work of the fifteenth century. Chuquet's work, of which a single manuscript survives (BNF Fonds français 1346), remained unpublished until 1881. La Roche's work thus printed for the first time several important innovations in arithmetic and algebra introduced by Chuquet: the use of exponents to denote powers of a number, often credited to Descartes who introduced them in his Géométrie more than a century later; the use of the 'second unknown' (see below) in the solution of systems of linear equations, which was an important step towards the invention of symbolic algebra by Viète; the use of negative numbers in the solution of equations; and the introduction of our terms 'million', 'billion' and 'trillion' for powers of 106. La Roche also includes Chuquet's 'règle des nombres moyens,' according to which a fraction could be found between any two given fractions by taking the sum of their numerators and dividing by the sum of their denominators; this rule could be used to find the solution of any problem soluble in rational numbers, once an upper and a lower bound for the solution had been found. La Roche intended his work to serve the mercantile class, and his account of commercial arithmetic goes considerably beyond Chuquet. "The second, and greater, part of La Roche's work has, apart from some geometrical calculations at the end, a commercial character. The author states that as a basis he used 'the flower of several masters, experts in the art' of arithmetic, such as Luca Pacioli, supplemented by his own knowledge of business practice . [La Roche's work] presented an outstanding view of contemporary methods of computation and their applications in trade" (DSB). OCLC lists copies at Columbia and Harvard only in North America. ABPC/RBH list only the Macclesfield copy (rebound in the 19th century) since Honeyman (Sotheby's, April 14, 2005, lot 1204, £19,200 = $36,409). The present copy was offered by Librairie Thomas-Scheler in 1996 (Catalogue Nouvelle Série No. 15, n. 296, 120,000F). "We do not know much about de la Roche (c. 1470-1530). Tax registers from Lyon reveal that his father lived in the Rue Neuve in the 1480s and that Estienne owned more than one property in Villefranche, from which he derived his nickname. De la Roche is described as a 'master of argorisme' as he taught merchant arithmetic for 25 years at Lyon. He owned the manuscript of the Triparty after the death of Chuquet (1488). It is therefore considered that de la Roche was on friendly terms with Chuquet and possibly learned mathematics from him. "The importance of the Larismethique has been seriously underestimated. There are several reasons for this. Probably the most important one is Aristide Marre's misrepresentation of the Larismethique as a grave case of plagiarism. Marre discovered that the printed work by Estienne de la Roche, contained large fragments that were literally copied from Chuquet's manuscript (Marre, Le Triparty . par Maistre Nicolas Chuquet (1881), introduction)" (Heeffer, pp. 1-2). But Barbara Moss argues that "the charge of plagiarism against Estienne de la Roche is largely an anachronism . Before the spread of printing, academic knowledge had been disseminated through the copying of manuscripts, and Chuquet, like many of his contemporaries, must have written down for reference a large number of examples from the work of others, with or without a note of their source . De la Roche's use of citations and sources is similar to that in a number of printed arithmetics of that period. Following the usual commendation of mathematics for its 'great utility and necessity', he continues: 'I have collected and amassed the flowers of several masters expert in this art, such as master Nicolas Chuquet, Parisian, Philippe Frescobaldi, Florentine, and Brother Luke of Borgo [Pacioli], with some small addition of what I have been able to invent and test out in my time in its practice' [first (unnumbered) page]" (Moss, pp. 117-9). Moreover, "giving a transcription of the problem text only, Marre withholds that for many of the solutions to Chuquet's problems de la Roche uses different methods and an improved symbolism. In general, the Larismethique is a much better structured text than the Triparty and one intended for a specific audience. Chuquet was a bachelor in medicine educated in Paris within the scholarly tradition and well acquainted with Boethius and Euclid. On the other hand, de la Roche was a reckoning master operating within the abbaco tradition. It becomes clear from the structure of the book that de la Roche had his own didactic program in mind. He produced a book for teaching and learning arithmetic and geometry which met the needs of the mercantile class. He rearranges Chuquet's manuscript using Pacioli's Summa as a model. He even adopts Pacioli's classification in books, distinctions and chapters. He moves problems from Chuquet's Appendice to relevant sections within the new structure. He adds introductory explanations to each section of the book, such as for the second unknown, discussed below. With the judgment of an experienced teacher, he omits sections and problems from the Triparty which are of less use to merchants and craftsmen and adds others which were not treated by Chuquet such as problems on exchange and barter" (Heeffer, p. 2). "As far as the first book of the Triparty is concerned, de la Roche is reasonably faithful to his teacher. He does include an extra chapter, on the connotations of the numbers 1 to 12, which he took from Pacioli, and Pacioli fro.
