First edition of this booklet. Brochure naked without covering the paper. 1664 Toussaint until January 1665, we saw a large comet tail from north to south, and another was visible from north to south. Many commentators took part in the scientific debate about the nature of comets and their paths, including high scientific in Jesuit colleges whose Ragayne and Cassini, but Tarteron. This brochure is a refutation of the theories of Descartes swirls on comets, Ragayne was not the only one to rise at this time against Descartes, Cassini also made and Seth Ward in England at the same time. It is precisely in these years and thanks to the Comets in particular that the French astronomy was born, and while Cassini was the most illustrious member, we can also remember that other scientists participated in this birth. Halley's comet is shown in 1682.
