Obviously I am ☺️ what's also remarkable is the association of the two disciplines ... Any reference to Cardano or other physicians-mathematician-philosopher? I mean up to Christian Kramp earning one's bread with medicine because mathematics is a brotlose Kunst is a classical lifestyle 😆

"One of the key strengths of Morel’s book is the fantastically rich impression of the practices and worldview [...] This is undoubtably testament to Morel’s skills as a historian" 😊Thanks Jasmine for this review of #UndergroundMathematics in the Journal of Design History! doi.org/10.1093/jdh/...

BUT if you look at the first page, you see that it bears the Exlibris of ... Gösta Mittag-Leffler, famous for launching the Acta Mathematica in the 1880s ! So even the modern mathematicians owned what we now see as largely outdated textbooks of the previous generations ... and maybe worked with it?

Kästner was a famous prof in Göttingen, but today he is seen as the "old guard", and was severely criticized by his student Gauss ... accordingly, this is a very old fashioned textbook about practical arithmetic, in the Rechenmeister tradition of the Renaissance ...

Great! This one's not an old book per se, but a *relatively* rare example of schema lectionum. Instead of the classical posters or booklets to present the university lectures, this one uses a table to offer an overview for several years ...
