First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Used-Very Good. First Edition.

Three quarter calf over marbled paper-covered boards. The spine and corners are recently (and nicely) rebound, with slightly raised bands on the spine and a contrasting title-label. The boards are older, but still quite sturdy and not at all unattractive. Both hinges have been repaired. A bookplate has been removed from the front pastedown endpaper and there are institutional ink-stamps to verso of title-page; otherwise, there are no marks of previous owenership. Some foxing to first and last few leaves of text-block. Overall, very clean and clear internally, with very generous margins. Page size approx. 40cm by 25 cm. Torelli's great edition of Archimedes, with Latin translation and the commentaries of Eutocius, remained the standard work for over a century. Riccardi, Biblioteca Matematica Italiana, p. 45.
