Bibliography

Albrecht Dürer — this edition by Alfred Peltzer

Underweysung der Messung

1525 · Nuremberg, 1525 · this edition Alfred Peltzer, Munich, 1908

The first geometry printed in German for the working artist — Dürer’s four books of compass-and-straightedge construction. The conic sections and spirals, the regular polygons and the tilings that lock the plane, the Roman and blackletter alphabets built stroke by stroke, the five Platonic solids unfolded into the flat nets he invented here, and the famous machines for seizing perspective. Set from Alfred Peltzer’s 1908 modern-German edition of the 1525 original.

Anonymous tradition · English by James Legge

Zhouyi · Book of Changes

Zhou era · received Zhouyi core · Classical Chinese beside James Legge’s 1882 English

The sixty-four hexagrams in received King Wen order: each judgment and line statement in Classical Chinese beside James Legge’s credited 1882 English. The later Ten Wings commentaries are not part of this reading edition.

Euclid — this edition by John Casey

The Elements of Euclid

c. 300 BC · composed c. 300 BC · this edition John Casey, Dublin University Press, 1885 · the first six books

The oldest engine still running. From five postulates and a handful of common notions, the whole of plane space is deduced — proposition by proposition, each leaning only on what came before. The taproot of every figure in this Scriptorium: the golden ratio is defined here (Book VI), the incommensurables tamed (Book V), and Book I closes on Pythagoras. Set from John Casey’s richly annotated 1885 edition.

Giovanni Pico della Mirandola

900 Conclusiones

1486 · Rome, Eucharius Silber, 1486 · the editio princeps

Pico’s syncretist wager — nine hundred theses gathering the Latin, Arab, Hebrew, Greek, Chaldean, Hermetic, Orphic and Kabbalist traditions into one concord, ending in the famed magical and Christian-Kabbalah conclusions. Every line transcribed fresh from the image-only incunable with a literal English translation and a gloss per block.

Heinrich Khunrath

Amphitheatrum Sapientiæ Æternæ

1609 · Hanau, 1609 · the posthumous expanded edition with the nine great copperplates

The theosophic amphitheatre — Christiano-Kabbalistic, Divino-Magical, Physico-Chemical, a Three-in-One. The nine legendary double-page copperplate engravings (the Oratory–Laboratory, the Filius Macrocosmi, the Citadel of Pallas), independently transcribed and translated from a plate-complete copy, beside the Ladder of Seven Grades.

Johannes Kepler

Mysterium Cosmographicum

1596 · Tübingen, Georg Gruppenbach, 1596 · the editio princeps

Kepler’s first book — the six planetary orbs spaced by the five nested Platonic solids, the Creator geometrizing. The full 1596 volume: the XXIII chapters with the keystone polyhedral plate, plus Rheticus’s Narratio Prima (the first printed account of heliocentrism) and Mästlin’s appendix. Set from the genuine 1596 Latin original — never a modern translation.

Michael Maier

Atalanta Fugiens

1617 · first published Oppenheim, 1617 · supplied e-text witness dated 1618

The crown jewel of the alchemical emblem book — fifty plates fusing engraving, Latin epigram, and three-voice fugue. The reader pairs translated epigrams and historical English discourses with the engravings; the fugues are credited but absent.

Ramon Llull

Ars Magna Generalis et Ultima

c. 1305 · composed c. 1305 · Lavinheta edition, Lyon: Marechal for Vincent, 1517

Llull’s combinatorial engine — the rotating figures, the alphabet of dignities, the art that would generate every true proposition. A full interactive English edition set against the 1517 leaves.
