Abstract

The Amsterdam-based merchant and mathematics enthusiast Adriaen Verwer (1654/5-1717) was one of the few in the Dutch Republic to respond to the first edition of Newton's Principia (1687). Based on a close study of his published work, his correspondence with the Scottish mathematician and astronomer David Gregory (1659-1708), and his annotations in his own copy of the first edition of the Principia, I shall scrutinize the impact of Newton's ideas on Verwer's thinking. The proposed analysis, which will add nuance to earlier findings, also has broader implications for our understanding of the introduction of Newton's ideas in the Dutch Republic, as will be shown.

阿德里安·维维尔(Adriaen Verwer, 1654/5-1717)和艾萨克·牛顿在荷兰共和国第一版的《原理》。

阿姆斯特丹的商人和数学爱好者阿德里安·维维尔(Adriaen Verwer, 1654/5-1717)是荷兰共和国为数不多的对牛顿第一版《原理》(1687)做出回应的人之一。基于对他发表的著作的仔细研究，他与苏格兰数学家和天文学家大卫·格里高利(David Gregory, 1659-1708)的通信，以及他在自己第一版《原理》中的注解，我将仔细研究牛顿的思想对维维尔思想的影响。所提出的分析，将增加早期发现的细微差别，也对我们理解牛顿思想在荷兰共和国的引入有更广泛的影响，如下所示。
