Manuscript of what appears to be a study notebook of the work with the same title, written by Willem Jacob's Gravesande, one of the most important studies published on Newton's work.
First published in 1720, Physices Elementa Mathematica, Experimentis Confirmata, sive Introductio ad Philosophiam Newtonianam by Willem Jacob 's Gravesande played a crucial role in the spread of Newtonian thought in continental Europe. This work systematizes the principles of Isaac Newton's mathematical physics, presenting them in an accessible form and with experiments that empirically demonstrate the laws of motion and universal gravitation. Its impact was particularly significant in the scientific formation of the Enlightenment, influencing natural philosophers and consolidating the experimental approach as the foundation of scientific inquiry.
The notes are written in Latin, and come with 4 fold-out sheets with drawings.
Curious.
