Geometria à Renato Des Cartes - DESCARTES (René) GEOMETRIA à Renato Descartes . Anno 1637 Gallicè edita; postea autem una cum Notis Florimondi de Beaune [...], Opera arque studio Francisci à Shooten [...], Quorum omnium Catalogum pagina versa exhibet. Amstelædami: Apud Ludovicum & Danielem Elzevirios, 1659. [14], 520 pp.; 195 mm. Elzevir Amsterdam edition (1659) of Cartesian Geometry , second edition of the Latin version prepared by Frans van Schooten , accompanied by notes by Florimond de Beaune . If Descartes' text (originally published in French in 1637 as an appendix to the Discours de la Méthode ) founds analytic geometry by subjecting geometric problems to the algebraic method, it is in this ”Schooten” editorial tradition that the work becomes truly pedagogical and cumulative : alongside the treatise, clarifications, developments, and related materials appear, reflecting the active reception of the text in the Netherlands and its transformation into a working tool for mathematicians and students.
