références: DSB [X, p. 494 : "Peletier wrote 'L'algèbre' in French in his own orthographic style. He adopted several ingenious ideas from Stifel's 'Arithmetica integra' (1544) and showed himself to have been strongly influenced by Cardano (...) He was the first mathematician to see relations between coefficients and roots of equations"].
