A Renaissance Library Rediscovered: The ‘Repertorium librorum Mathematica’ of Jean I du Temps

Alexander Marr

St Andrews


  Abstract

This article transcribes in full the handwritten list of mathematical books owned by the sixteenth-century French lawyer Jean I du Temps of Blois. Du Temps, a noted expert on chronology and cartography, assembled a substantial collection of works on the mathematical arts, details of which were recorded by one of his pupils towards the end of the century. Du Temps's biography provides a starting point for an analysis of the contents of his library, which is then placed in the context of the renaissance of mathematics in France and of the international book trade.
