Erste Ausgabe. - "Cremona's most important original research into transformations in the plane and in space was published while he was at Bologna.... In March 1866 he published his second paper on transformations, 'Mémoire de géométrie pure sur les surfaces du troisičme ordre.' This earned Cremona half of the Steiner Prize for 1866, the other half going to Richard Sturm. Both papers on transformations were translated into German by Curtze and published as Grundzüge der allgemeinen Theorie der Oberflächen in synthetischer Behandlung (1870). It was during this period at Bologna that Cremona developed the theory of birational transformations (Cremona transformations)" (DSB). - Stellenweise leicht stockfleckig bzw. gebräunt, sonst gut erhalten. - DSB 3, 467
