Girolamo Saladini

Early Modern

Girolamo Saladini was an Italian mathematician, born at Lucca on 22 July 1735 and dead at Bologna on 1 June 1813. He was one of the brightest pupils of Vincenzo Riccati, with whom he wrote the Institutiones analyticae, an extensive treatise on mathematical analysis published in three volumes at Bologna in 1765 to 1767 and translated by Saladini into Italian in 1775. He taught geometry, astronomy and higher mathematics at the University of Bologna and was an early member of the Accademia nazionale delle scienze. In a memoir of 1808 on the principle of virtual speeds he tried to prove the principle of virtual work while avoiding its main difficulties, including the presence of constraints.
