168O que Mersenne aprendeu na ItáliaDiscurso 31 89-114. 2000.Estudos sobre Marin Mersenne enfatizam freqüentemente o serviço prestado por ele à ciência européia, por ajudar na circulação das idéias, tanto pela correspondência como por suas publicações. Mas o próprio Mersenne foi uma figura importante na Revolução Científica com seu próprio programa intelectual.

Reflections on the real nature of L…Read more
