EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the author's own annotated copy of "Horologium oscillatorium sive de motu pendulorum ad horologia aptato demonstrationes geometricae" by Christiaans Huygens. Published in 1673 by F. Muguet in Paris, this first edition is a remarkable piece of scientific literature from the 17th century. Measuring at 35.1x23.8 cm, this book holds immense historical significance as it contains Huygens' groundbreaking mathematical analysis of pendulum motion and a comprehensive treatise on the dynamics of moving bodies. The quarter morocco binding and woodcut armorial device on paper add to its aesthetic appeal. The title pages adorned with fleur de lys and an intricate crown symbolize the importance bestowed upon this work during that era. Its annotations, made by the author himself, offer a unique glimpse into Huygens' thoughts and insights. Preserved in a private collection, this rare gem serves as a testament to Huygens' contributions to physics and mathematics. The photograph beautifully captures every detail of this significant book, allowing viewers to appreciate its historical value. Courtesy of eChristies Images and Bridgeman Images, we are fortunate enough to witness this extraordinary artifact that has shaped our understanding of science for centuries.
