The leaders of ACM were embarrassed by their honoree, and the ACM never publicly referred to the incident in any way. This copy is inscribed by the author to Erwin Tomash. A second copy of this work is available in the collection. 134 Illustrations available: Title page Inscription Erwin Tomash Library Bernard, Edward Bernard, Edward B 140 Bernard, Edward (1638–1696) B 139 Inscription, B 139 De mensuris et ponderibus antiquis libri tres.

Erwin Tomash Library Bernard, Edward Bernegger, Matthias Pagination: pp. [16], 261, [83] Collation: § 4 §§ 4 A–Z 4 2A–2U 4 Size: 180x110 mm Bernard was a Fellow of St. John’s College Oxford, where he had earlier been a scholarship student and an expert in weights and measures. He is known to have created star tables that were published in Hooke’s Philosophical Collections in 1684 and was well enough thought of to be appointed as Christopher Wren’s successor to the Savilian chair of astronomy in 1673. He was a keen collector of ancient manuscripts and spoke many oriental languages. This work is an enlarged and amended version of a letter prefixed to Dr. Pocock’s Commentary on Hosea, 1685. It discusses the numerical systems of several different civilizations, both ancient and of his own day, and it incorporates material from European, Far Eastern, Middle Eastern and African sources. The typesetting must have been problematic because of the numerous instances of Hebrew, Arabic, Greek and other alphabets.

He is best known for his unauthorized 1612 translation of Galileo’s work on the sector (see entry for Galilei, Galileo [Bernegger, Matthias, translator]; Tractatus de proportionum instrumento, quod merito compendium universæ geometriæ dixeris, 1635), to which he added a set of notes that almost doubled the size of the text. The notes are a description of the construction of the sector, 135
