From the French Order of the Minims, Professors of Mathematics. Second edition, far more accurate and corrected, 3 vols., Geneva (Cl. & Ant. Philibert) 1760.

Second (corrected) edition of a reprint of the text from the third Latin-English edition by Henry Pemberton (1726), supplemented with extensive commentaries, explanations, and notes. Alongside the two Minimes, Jean Louis Calandrini (1702–1758) played an important role in the production of this edition. It would become one of the most important vehicles for the dissemination of Newtonian ideas in Europe. Babson 31; not in Gray; Lalande 471 mentions only the Cologne edition from the same year.
