*** First edition of this collection of important mathematical works, in an attractive Roger Payne binding. The individual works are all first editions with the exception of Lefèvre’s Epitome, of Boethius’ De arithmetica (first printed 1496) and an unattributed Opusculum de p[r]axi numerorum quod Algorismum vovant, actually the Algorismus of Sacrobosco (no earlier printing than this traced in auction records). Rare: seemingly with no other copies traced in auction records.
