Foundations of Algebraic Geometry - copy of J. E. Reeve

A desirable early printing of André Weil’s Foundations of Algebraic Geometry (AMS Colloquium Publications, Vol. XXIX, 1946). This is one of the foundational works in 20th‑century algebraic geometry and a key text in the development of the subject before the rise of the Grothendieck school. Bound in the original AMS blue cloth with bright gilt to the spine. This copy carries the dated ownership inscription of J. E. Reeve (Sept. 1954), a respected British geometer known for the Reeve simplex in convex geometry and for his contributions to mid‑century geometric theory. His association gives the book genuine academic provenance rather than casual previous ownership. Also includes the Bowes & Bowes Cambridge bookseller label, further situating the volume in a scholarly context. A scarce early issue in clean condition, made rarer still by its mathematician provenance. Highly suitable for collectors of algebraic geometry, AMS Colloquium Publications, or historically significant mathematical monographs.…
