This second volume on technology is mainly devoted to three prize-winning memoirs, answering questions related to ship-building which were proposed by the French Academie Royale des Sciences in the years 1737, 1755, and 1757. The volume hosts two further items: a popularizing text on astronomy from 1723, and the theory of the spiral pump, a technical item from 1772. In the introductory part of the volume every memoir is analysed and extensively summarized, so the reader should obtain a clear view of the content in modern terms.

The works from Daniel Bernoulli's youth contained in this first volume of his Collected Works bear witness above all of his versatility; they deal with subjects as different as physiology, formal logic, mathematical analysis, hydrodynamics and positional astronomy. Daniel Bernoulli's contacts with Italian scientists gave rise to several controversies. The present volume documents both sides in each of these debates, which culminated with the publication of Bernoulli's first book Exercitationes mathe- maticae in 1724. The discussions with the renowned mathematician Jacopo Riccati on second-order differential equations and on the Newtonian theory of the out-flow of fluids from vessels deserve particular interest. A third group of texts goes back to the time Bernoulli spent at the newly- founded Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg, where he had been appointed in 1725. There he worked out two more contributions to physiological research - on muscle movement and on the blind spot in the human eye - as well as his only paper in positional astronomy. This last work - suggested by a prize question of the Paris Academie des Sciences - became the occasion for a vehement conflict; the present volume documents these "Zankereien" (squabbles) and also reproduces three competing treatises. To complete the documentation of Daniel Bernoulli's work on physiology, the volume also includes his academic ceremonial speech De Vita of 1737, where he sketches for the first time the circulation of the work done by the human heart, and its elaboration by Bernoulli's student Daniel Passavant.

Den Inhalt des vorliegenden Bandes bilden neun Arbeiten zur allgemeinen Mechanik und zwei langere Preisschriften, die eine uber die Struktur des Pla netensystems, die andere, eines der Hauptwerke Daniel Bernoullis, uber die Gezeiten. Uber unsere Editionsgrundsatze wurde schon im Vorwort zu Band 2 dieser Reihe das Notige gesagt. Speziell haben wir uns zum Ziel gesetzt, die Originaltexte ohne Beeintrachtigung der wissenschaftlichen Aussage in eine moderne Satzform zu ubertragen, um sie den Mathematikern, Naturwissen schaftern und Historikern in einer dem Original adaquaten Weise zuganglich zu machen. Auch in dieser Form bleiben Bernoullis Schriften eine schwierige Lek ture. Gerade die fruhen Arbeiten sind knapp und verschachtelt geschrieben, unter Einfugung der Formeln in den laufenden Text. Die Gestaltung von Text und Kommentar erforderte wiederum eine eingehende Zusammenarbeit zwischen Frau P. Radelet (Louvain-Ia-Neuve) und den Verlagsmitarbeitern. Ein besonderes Wort mag die Verwendung verschiedener Sprachen in nerhalb desselben Bandes begrunden: Die Bernoulliwerke werden in interna tionaler Zusammenarbeit von Wissenschaftern aus verschiedenen Landern, unter dem Patronat der Naturforschenden Gesellschaft in Basel, herausgege ben. Diese fur ein derart grosses Unternehmen heute einzig mogliche Arbeits weise bringt es mit sich, dass manche Bande Beitrage in verschiedenen Spra chen enthalten werden, da jedem Mitarbeiter die Wahl unter Englisch, Deutsch und Franzosisch freigestellt ist. Hingegen wird in allen Banden der Rahmen, d. h. Titel, Inhaltsverzeichnis, Vorwort und die Register am Schluss des Bandes, einheitlich in Deutsch, der Sprache der Naturforschenden Gesell schaft in Basel, verfasst."
