Seller's Description:
VG-(Ex-library with stamps and labels on spine, inside front and rear covers, ffep and block. Tape residue on bottom of spine. Pages are otherwise clean and clear. Binding tight. ) Black cloth with silver lettering on spine, xxviii, 380 pp with bw facsimiles. "Alexandre Koyre and I. Bernard Cohen conceived the idea of an edition with variant readings of Newton's great treatise, Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica. Their aim was to exhibit the stages of growth of this fundamental treatise from the first manuscript (1685-1687) to the final edition (1726). Professor Cohen's Introduction serves a dual purpose. It is a guide to the edition, but it is also a biography of the book itself, providing an analytic history of how Newton came to write the book, the printing of the several editions, the critical receptions given to each edition, and-above all-how Newton continually corrected, revised, and enlarged the text over 4 decades." The 16 plates show pages from the original manuscript.
