BERNOULLI, Jacob (1654-1705). Positionum de seriebus infinitis earumque usu in quadraturis spatiorum et rectificationibus curvarum. Pars Quarta ... Basel: Mechel, 1698. First edition, rare on the market and very possibly unique in the present uncut and unopened state , of the fourth dissertation outlining Bernoulli's theory of series. The author published five dissertations on the subject between 1682 and 1704, as outcomes of the academic disputations upon which he presided. ‘The five dissertations in the Theory of Series contain sixty consecutively numbered propositions. These dissertations show how Bernoulli... had thoroughly familiarised himself with the appropriate formulations of questions to which he had been led by the conclusions of Leibnitz in 1682 (series pi/4 and log 2) and 1683 (questions dealing with compound interest)’ (DSB II, p.49). Small quarto (214 x 173mm). (A very few spots, edges a little dusty.) Uncut and unopened with deckle edges, stitched as issued, with paper spine.
