Description:
Baltimore, MD: The Association for Computing Machinery, 1965. Quarto. Original cream wrappers printed in black. Remnants of a mailing label to the upper wrapper. Just a little rubbed and creased. Excellent condition. First publication of the resolution principle, the standard of logical deduction in AI applications. The basic computational method in logic programming, the unification algorithm, was proposed by mathematician Jacques Herbrand in 1930, but its first practical use was not discovered until Robinson introduced it in this paper as the basic operation of his resolution principle. "Robinson described his resolution principle as 'machine-oriented' in that it was particularly suitable for proofs to be performed by computer, having only one rule of inference that could be applied many times. Robinson's resolution has since been used as the standard of logical deduction in AI applications" (Hook & Norman, Origins of Cyberspace 865).

Description:
MILANO: APPRESSO GIUSEPPE GALEAZZI REGIO STAMPATORE, 1776. Rarissimo e celebre opuscolo del 1776 sul modo di proteggere gli edifici dai fulmini. Di Autore anonimo ma attribuito dal Melzi (v. 2 p. 155) all'astronomo e meteorologo Giuseppe Toaldo (1719-1797). I dati tipografici presenti nell'ultima carta. Toaldo fu sostenitore delle teorie di Benjamin Franklin e fece installare dei parafulmini sulla cattedrale di san Marco a Venezia e sulle navi della marina veneziana. Da pag. 17 dell'opuscolo in poi l'autore descrive il primo parafulmine che venne impiantato a Milano sul Pubblico Ardivio. Questa novità fece molto parlare la Milano di allora e scrivere anche i poeti vernacoli del tempo: "Per via di certa macchena insci fada. Missa in guardia a l'archivi e ai so scricciur. La i fulmen han de grazia a volta strada (De Castro. Milano e la Rep. Cis. Milano 1789 pag. 12). !Chi s'è trovaa un ordegn c'ha del divin. in cas che vegna el fulmen d0obbligal. A… Read More
