4to. 7 ff. Marbled wrappers. An important mathematical work by Heinrich Stromer (d. 1542), humanist, scholar and physician, rector of Leipzig University, professor of pathology and dean of the medical faculty. This is one of many editions of his introduction to arithmetic, based on the use of the table abacus. "It covers all the basic arithmetic operations from simple addition through mediation, duplation, multiplication and division" (Tomash & Williams). The work was first printed in Leipzig in 1504, and all editions are rare; this is the second. - Stromer von Auerbach was a friend and correspondent of Erasmus, Pirckheimer and Reuchlin and later became personal physician to Albrecht of Brandenburg. Born in Auerbach near Chemnitz, he built in 1532 the famous "Auerbach-Hof" in Leipzig, immortalized in Goethe's "Faust". - Slight waterstain to lower corner. A contemporary humanist's ink annotations in Latin to the first page of text. - From an old Czech private collection. - VD 16, S 9697. OCLC 982116216. Smith, Rara arithmetica, p. 83 (note). Cf.
