| Fischart, Johann
Das Glückhafft Schiff von Zürich : ein Lobspruch vonn der Glücklichen und Wolfertigen Schiffart, einer Burgerlichen Gesellschafft auß Zürich, auff das außgeschriben Schiessen gen Straßburg den 21. Junij, des 76. jars, nicht vil erhörter weis vollbracht. Dazu eines Neidigen Verunglimpfers schantlicher Schmachspruch, von gedachtem Glückschiff . Samt desselbigen Notwendigem Kehrab ist gethan worden. ( Buch der Rupprecht-Presse , 38 ) München : Rupprecht-Presse, 1927, small 4to., full vellum. 83 [1] pp. Number 19 of an edition of 150 numbered copies hand-printed on Bedenk paper. *** A example of fine printing by the most profoundly German private press of the early 20th century. Founded in 1914 in Munich by typographer Fritz Helmut Ehmcke, the Rupprecht Presse published over a span of 20 years some 57 books, of which this No. 38. Drawing mainly on German literature for his sources, Ehmcke printed in artistic form a number of works by philosophers, and this poem composed by pro-Reformation satirist Johann Fischart (1546 - 1590) was typical of his choices. One of the most prominent writers of his time, Fischart first saw his poem published in 1576, and it was regarded as one of the most distinguished works of the last quarter of the 16th century. As in all Rupprecht Presse offerings, Ehmcke designed the covers, endpapers and typefaces for this work. Text is in Ehmcke-Schwabacher, designed in 1920; headings in Ehmcke-Fraktur, designed in 1909 and cut by noted typographer Louis Hoell. Hoell also worked with the renowned Bremer Presse of Munich, as did calligrapher Anna Simon, who created the handwritten initials in red for this volume. Finely printed with wide margins on Bedenk hand-made paper with deckled edges.£495 |

Born to a poor family in Metz in 1788, Poncelet won a scholarship to the lycée and then the École Polytechnique where he studied under Gaspard Monge. In 1810 entered the military engineering college at Metz. He was commissioned a lieutenant of engineers and served in Napoleon's invasion of Russia in 1812. Abandoned as dead at the Battle of Krasnoy, he was imprisoned by the Russians at Saratov before being repatriated to France in 1814. During his imprisonment, he studied projective geometry and started to investigate those properties that figures share with their shadows. With no books at hand, he planned his great Traite des proprietes projectives des figures, which, subsequent to his release and return to Metz late in 1814, he put into form and published in Paris in 1822. It is a geometric milestone. It gave tremendous impetus to the study of projective geometry and inaugurated the so-called "great period" in the history of the subject. The book can be considered the founding text of projective geometry and introduces fundamental ideas such as the cross-ratio, perspective, involution and the circular points at infinity. His development of the pole and polar lines associated with conics led to the principle of duality. A second edition of Traité des Propértiés Projectives appeared in 1865 and it has been reprinted since. On Poncelet's repatriation to France, he resumed military engineering duties at Metz, being appointed professor of mechanics at the école d'application in 1825. There, in his lectures, he coined the term fatigue to describe the failure of materials under repeated stress. He took a particular interest in the design of turbines and waterwheels, proposing the inward-flow turbine in 1826, though the first model was not built until 1838. In his book Industrial Mechanics (1829) he proved the work-kinetic energy theorem and demonstrated its wide applicability. He also wrote a report on the English machinery and tools displayed at the London International Exhibition of 1851, a two-volume expansion of his earlier work of 1822 (1862, 1865), and numerous geometry articles in the pages of Crelle's Journal. Gaspard de Coriolis was simultaneously developing the same ideas, but this work makes Poncelet the most influential engineer in history. Poncelet has been attributed to have introduced the concept of work as the product of force and translation. Poncelet left Metz in 1835 and became professor of mechanics at the Sorbonne in 1838. From 1848, he held the rank of general, commanding the École Polytechnique. Poncelet retired from his administrative duties in 1850 to devote himself to mathematical research. He died in Paris in 1867. A French unit of power, the poncelet, was named after him. COPAC Full Record
