First edition of this revolutionary work, published in large format: "Pluecker's Neue Geometrie heralded the era of line and projective geometry" in which he attempted to base space geometry upon the self-dual straight line as element, rather than upon the point or in dual manner upon the plane as element. He thus created the field of line geometry, which until the twentieth century was the subject of numerous researches" (DSB XI p. 46). A lovely, tightly bound copy of this important work
