Brother Philippe Bransiet – Treatise on Arithmetic – 1869 – Autograph Signature

Beautiful old example of the New Treatise of Decimal Arithmetic, published in 1869, under the initials F. P. B., attributed to Brother Philippe Bransiet (1792-1874), Superior General of the Brothers of the Christian Schools.

Remarkable feature: the work bears three authentication signatures, including an original autograph signature by F. P. B., drawn in ink. Paper examination reveals impressions visible on the recto and verso, confirming a handwritten intervention.

A printed note specifies that any copy lacking all three signatures must be considered a counterfeit.
