A Near Fine set, in slipcase. Inscribed: 'Dear professor [Benoit] Mandelbrot/With this present, the Executive Committee/of ICM-2006 would like to thank your/cooperation with the Congress./Manuel de León/On behalf of the Executive Committee/ICM 2006'. 'On display [at ICM 2006] were works by the twenty-eight finalists in an international competition expressly organized for the ICM2006 in Madrid, with a jury of panellists headed by Benoit Mandelbrot. Professor Mandelbrot gave a talk on 'The Nature of Roughness in Mathematics, Science, and Art' at the main congress venue, where a replicated version of this exhibition could also be seen' (Proceedings of the International Congress of Mathematicians Madrid, August 22 30, 2006, Vol. I, p. 9). 'Pride of place among the cultural events was the official gift presented to all plenary lecturers and invited speakers by the Executive Committee in recognition for their contribution to the Congress. This consisted of a facsimile edition of the works of Archimedes, 'On the Sphere and the Cylinder', 'On the Measurement of the Circle' and 'The Quadrature of the Parabola' (published jointly with the Real Sociedad Matemática Española), in an annotated Spanish translation. This is a luxury edition comprising two volumes presented in a box-set (333 × 230 mm). The first volume is a facsimile book of a 16th century manuscript from the Library of El Monasterio de El Escorial, a manuscript copied in Venice at the expense of Diego Hurtado de Mendoza (Charles V's ambassador at Venice from 1527 to 1547) from the manuscript CCCV extant in the Marciana Library. The second volume contains the annotated Spanish translation of those Archimedean works, and the following four studies: (1) Greek Science: Towards a Critical Knowledge by Carlos García Gual; (2) Archimedes and His Manuscripts by Antonio J. Durán (who was also in charge of co-ordination of the edition); (3) Archimedes: A Legend of Wisdom, and (4) The Mathematical Works of Archimedes, both by Pedro M. González Urbaneja' (ibid, p. 10).
