On offer is a superb, original late 18th Century French language manuscript mathematics book with approximately 100 pages of handwritten questions, theories, responses and other co mplex mathematical and geometric forms and equations being what appears to be an advanced student of the subject's personal workbook. An ownership inscription of 'P. Reynaud' and his same signature after most entries all in a very fine precise and sometimes teeny hand writing illustrated throughout by graphs and geometric forms.
