Description “The letter forms part of the wider correspondence about the `new calculus', in which L'Hospital and Leibniz also participated, and gives some new evidence about Huygens's ambivalent attitude toward the new developments. Therefore, two mathematical passages in the letter are discussed separately. An appendix contains the original Latin text.”
