EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a rare and intriguing glimpse into the past, featuring a page from René Descartes' seminal work, "Excerpta Mathematica." Descartes (1596-1650), a French philosopher, mathematician, and scientist, is renowned for his groundbreaking contributions to modern Western philosophy, particularly his famous statement, "Cogito, ergo sum" (I think, therefore I am). However, his mathematical works, such as "Excerpta Mathematica," were equally significant and influential. Published posthumously in 1661, "Excerpta Mathematica" is a collection of Descartes' mathematical manuscripts, including his work on geometry, algebra, and methods of mathematical discovery. The photograph, taken in 1962, reveals a page from this historical text, with its aged and worn pages bearing the weight of centuries. The delicate lines and precise notations on the page serve as a testament to the enduring nature of mathematical ideas and the intellectual curiosity that drives scholars to explore them. The photograph was taken by Mary Evans/AISA Media, a leading provider of high-quality historical images. The image, sourced from the Archivo de la Biblioteca Nacional de España (National Library of Spain), offers a unique and captivating perspective on the rich history of mathematics and the enduring legacy of René Descartes' intellectual contributions. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into the mind of one of the most influential thinkers in Western thought.
