Document Details : Title: A New Mathematical Text from Antoine Thomas (1685), Now in New York Author(s): GOLVERS, Noël Journal: Les Études Classiques Volume: 88 Issue: 1-4 Date: 2020 Pages: 145-161 DOI: 10.2143/LEC.88.1.3290443 Abstract : Pursued research surfaces more and more overlooked or unidentified manuscripts of Antoine Thomas, S.J., the assistant and later successor of Ferdinand Verbiest. We publish here a new text which is directly linked to Thomas’ mathematics teaching at the Coimbran Colégio das Artes and shows how he re-established mathematical instruction at the main Portuguese Jesuit college on the basis of contemporary French mathematical treatises. Des recherches systématiques font de plus en plus resurgir des manuscrits négligés ou non identifiés d’Antoine Thomas, S.J., qui fut d’abord l’assistant de Ferdinand Verbiest, avant de lui succéder. Nous publions ici un nouveau texte, directement lié à l’enseignement des mathématiques que Thomas prodigua au Colégio das Artes de Coimbra, qui montre comment il a relancéles cours de mathématiques dans le principal collège jésuite du Portugal en s’appuyant sur les ouvrages de mathématiciens français contemporains.
