Near contemporary ink inscription French surname Baudoin on end-leaf another instance cancelled and No. 17 on title. 1727 first edition of Fontenelles published theories on inifinitesimal calculus plenty in philosophical dialogue. While Éléments de la Géometrie de lInfini was praised by Alexis Fontaine des Bertins as an inspiration Fontenelles contemporary mathematicians did not consider his book to be a mathematical work. Fontenelles main desire in line with early-Enlightenment ideals was to make science accessible to the layman. His work laid the foundations for such discussion by taking a philosophical approach to the calculus of infinity writing in a novelistic style. For infinity Fontenelle studied the curvatures of the plane curves using the sines of angles of contingence although in practice Fontenelles theories contained many paradoxes. The result was that Fontenelles work was increased and expanded on by his supporters famously by the Jesuit mathematician Louis-Betrand Castel. In addition Fontenelles work was the basis on Fontaines 1731 work on the curvature of plane curves which presented new formulas on infinity and was a highly praised work in the Paris Academy. OCLC locates several institutional copies in the US additionally held in microform. Fontenelles is a classic and fundamental textbook work on geometry from the French Enlightenment-era still containing valuable points. De LImprimerie Royale hardcover books

From the library of Biby mansion in Södermanland Sweden. ”Histoire des Oracles” by Fontenelle was originally published in 1687 and re-issued in several editions. Together with van Dale in ”De oraculis veterum ethnicorum dissertationes” 1683 Fontanelle claimed that the ancient oracle answers were given neither by the supernatural agency of demons nor the Devil and also that they did not cease with the birth of Jesus. A view that stirred up oppositon in the church. The ”Le politique du temps” is a new edition of ”Le politique du temps; ouvrage qui traite de la puissance authorité et du pouvoir des princes” published in Paris 1650 which is a reprint of a pamphlet published in 1574. It is sometimes attributed François Davesne. hardcover
