Accentuated initials and decorative tailpieces. Marginalia. Remarkable edition of the works of Flavius Josephus, providing crucial information about the First Jewish-Roman War and an important literary source material for understanding the context of the Dead Sea Scrolls and late Temple Judaism. In point of literary talent Josephus ranks among the leading writers in world literature. His style is epic, his portrayals plastic, his gift of description captivates the reader alike by its fidelity and its colorful presentation" (Encyclopedia Judaica). "The Jewish War" recounts the Jewish revolt against Roman occupation (66-70). "Antiquities of the Jews" recounts the history of the world from a Jewish perspective for an ostensibly Roman audience. These works provide valuable insight into First Century Judaism and the background of Early Christianity.

hardcover. Condition: fine. first edition. In-4° relié, couvertures conservées, exemplaire lithographié, 40 pages. Beau de Rochas s'intéresse ici au touage, système qui permet à une embarcation de se propulser par l'intermédiaire d'une chaîne sans fin qui repose sur le fond. Il décrit le problème et ses propositions de solutions dans ce mémoire transmis en 1863 à la Société d'Encouragement pour l'Industrie Nationale. Exemplaire magnifique en parfait état, y compris les planches et l'immense carte. - - - - - - - - Alphonse Eugène Beau, dit Beau de Rochas, né le 9 avril 1815 à Digne et mort le 27 mars 1893 à Vincennes, est un ingénieur français, lauréat de l'institut (Académie des Sciences). Ingénieur de grands travaux, il pose le premier câble télégraphique sous-marin en collaboration avec l'ingénieur Philippe Breton (1851). Il s'intéresse ensuite à de nombreux sujets relatifs à l'hydrographie, au transport ferroviaire et fluvial, ou encore au franchissement de la Manche par un tunnel immergé. Thermodynamicien autodidacte, il décrit en 1862 un cycle à quatre temps, connu sous le nom de cycle de Beau de Rochas, qui lui vaut d'être reconnu comme l'inventeur du moteur à quatre temps. Dans un mémoire adressé à l'Académie des sciences en 1887, il définit également certains principes du moteur à réaction, dont il prévoyait déjà les immenses possibilités. Installé à Digne, Alphonse Beau fait son service militaire à partir de 1835 et, de retour dans sa ville, commence sa vie professionnelle d'architecte bâtisseur dans le département puis plus loin : Arles, Marseille, la Corse, etc. Il entame une collaboration, qui s'avère longue et créative, avec Philippe Breton, un ingénieur polytechnicien d'origine grenobloise : ils remportent ensemble d'importants succès relatifs aux câbles télégraphiques, notamment avec la mise en service d'un câble sous-marin entre la France et l'Angleterre en 1851. Alphonse Beau s'installe à Paris en 1852 et se fait désormais appeler Beau de Rochas. En 1854, il devient inspecteur de la toute jeune Compagnie des chemins de fer du Midi. À Paris, Beau de Rochas est déjà connu pour la réalisation du câble sous-marin, et il jouit d'une relative aisance financière accordée alors par sa famille. Il fréquente les bibliothèques scientifiques et, grâce à son ami Philippe Breton, polytechnicien, il peut rencontrer élèves, chercheurs et enseignants de l'époque. Il se prend de passion pour la thermodynamique, à laquelle il consacre une grande partie de son énergie jusqu'à la fin de sa vie. En 1886, Beau de Rochas étudie les possibilités de transport de courant continu sur de longues distances. À Arles, il étudie les possibilités de dessalement de la Camargue afin de permettre la culture des céréales. En Corse, il met en route une carrière d'extraction de granit et porphyre, sans être indemnisé correctement. En 1881, il prononce une conférence à la Société des études coloniales et maritimes sur l'établissement d'une communication ferroviaire sous-marine à travers le pas de Calais, la comparant à l'établissement d'un tunnel ou d'un pont. La solution proposée est de construire à terre un tunnel à base de tubes métallique puis de l'immerger sous la Manche. En 1888, il publie un mémoire proposant l'aménagement du Soudan par la création de grandes oasis sahariennes . Au lendemain du rattachement de la Savoie et de Nice, en 1861, alors qu'il travaille pour la Compagnie des chemins de fer du Midi, il propose un tracé de voie ferrée « Grenoble - Gap - Digne - Nice » avec deux raccordements En 1862, Beau de Rochas publie un mémoire d'une soixantaine de pages qui est une somme de connaissances sur les moteurs et de propositions pour en améliorer le rendement. La section 6 de ce mémoire décrit un cycle moteur à quatre temps qui vaudra à l'auteur d'être reconnu, plus tard, comme l'inventeur du moteur à quatre temps.…
