German mathematician and physical scientist (1777–1855) who contributed significantly to many fields, including geometry and astronomy. Rare and especially desirable signed book: Hesperus; oder, 45 Hundsposttage: Eine Biographie von Jean Paul. Berlin: Karl Makdorffs Buchandlung, 1795. Hardcover, 5 x 7.5, 388 pages, First Edition. Signed on the first free end page with an ownership signature, “C. F. Gauss 1803.” Book condition: VG-/None. Brown paper-covered boards; moderate wear to covers and edges, including an approx. 5” very thin scratch to rear and a crease in paper over rear lower corner; approx. 2” crack in hinge after first gathering; stain to textblock around spinetail (with the textured brown coloring of the exterior, the stain is not visible on the spine itself); few pages have small tears to the deckled fore-edges (one page has a larger, 1” tear); expected soiling to textblock edges; light spots scattered throughout; several light ink marks to margins and few underlines throughout; “X” marked on front pastedown and neatly written note on rear pastedown; brown stain to ffep. Though there are many small cosmetic flaws to this book, considering its age it is an excellent copy, with tight binding and clean text.
