Thomæ Hobbes Malmesburiensis opera philosophica quæ Latine scripsit omnia in unum corpus nunc primum collecta studio et labore Gulielmi Molesworth

MOLESWORTH, William - Right Hon. Sir, Bart, Hobbes, Thomas · 1839 · 25 pictures

The collected Latin philosophical works of Thomas Hobbes, edited by William Molesworth and printed in London in 1839 for scholars and libraries, gathering De Corpore and the mathematical treatises in which Hobbes argued for his quadratures and duplications. The plates are line-engraved geometric figures — circles with tangents and radii, nested squares, fans of chords converging on lettered points — usable as hairline diagram stock, arc-and-chord motifs, or lettered construction marks for grid and layout work.
