Description “This paper links one aspect of the genealogy of Newton's Principia to the processes of self-fashioning which its author adopted. I examine how Newton prepared the Principia for publication during the mid-1680s in the light of his belief that the Ancients had once possessed the true religion and philosophy, and then lost it because of idolatrous tendencies. I demonstrate how he controlled accounts of the meaning of the Principia by selectively allowing access to himself and to his private notes.”
