Reviews

By bringing together all of the known relevant Leibnizian writings on the subject, De Risi has rendered a very valuable service to Leibniz scholars and historians of seventeenth-century mathematics. This volume is indispensable for anyone interested in the development of non-Euclidean geometry or the mathematical thought of Leibniz. (Douglas M. Jesseph, Isis, Vol. 108 (3), September, 2017)
