As Bradwardine's works are very scarce indeed, I give two titles from one of the Libri catalogues.
"ARITHMETIC. BRAUARDINI (Thomæ) Arithmetica speculativa revisa et correcta a Petro Sanchez Ciruelo Aragonesi, black letter, _elegant woodcut title-page_, VERY RARE, _folio. Parisiis, per Thomam Anguelast (pro Olivier Senant), s. a. circa 1510_.[508]
"This book, by Thomas Bradwardine, Archbishop of Canterbury must be exceedingly scarce as it has escaped the notice of Professor De Morgan, who, in his _Arithmetical Books_, speaks of a treatise of the same author on proportions,[509] printed at Vienna in 1515, but does not mention the present work.
"Bradwardine (Archbp. T.). Brauardini (Thomæ) Geometria speculativa, com Tractato de Quadratura Circuli bene revisa a Petro Sanchez Ciruelo, SCARCE, _folio. Parisiis, J. Petit_, 1511.[510]
"In this work we find the _polygones étoilés_,[511] see Chasles (_Aperçu_, pp. 480, 487, 521, 523, &c.) on the merit of the discoveries of this English mathematician, who was Archbishop of Canterbury in the XIVth Century (_tempore_ Edward III. A.D. 1349); and who applied geometry to theology. M. Chasles says that the present work of Bradwardine contains 'Une théorie nouvelle qui doit faire honneur au XIVe Siècle.'"[512]
The titles do not make it quite sure that Bradwardine is the quadrator; it may be Peter Sanchez after all.[513]
Nouvelle théorie des parallèles. Par Adolphe Kircher[514] [so signed at the end of the appendix]. Paris, 1803, 8vo.
An alleged emendation of Legendre.[515] The author refers { 230} to attempts by Hoffman,[516] 1801, by Hauff,[517] 1799, and to a work of Karsten,[518] or at least a theory of Karsten, contained in "Tentamen novæ parallelarum theoriæ notione situs fundatæ; auctore G. C. Schwal,[519] Stuttgardæ, 1801, en 8 volumes." Surely this is a misprint; _eight_ volumes on the theory of parallels? If there be such a work, I trust I and it may never meet, though ever so far produced.
Soluzione ... della quadratura del Circolo. By Gaetano Rossi.[520] London, 1804, 8vo.
The three remarkable points of this book are, that the household of the Prince of Wales took ten copies, Signora Grassini[521] sixteen, and that the circumference is 3-1/5 diameters. That is, the appetite of Grassini for quadrature exceeded that of the whole household (_loggia_) of the Prince of Wales in the ratio in which the semi-circumference exceeds the diameter. And these are the first two in the list of subscribers. Did the author see this theorem?
