Nouveaux élémens de géométrie contenant, outre un ordre tout nouveau & de nouvelles démonstrations des propositions les plus communes, de nouveaux moyens de faire voir quelles lignes sont incommensurables, de nouvelles mesures des angles, dont on ne s'était point encore avisé, et de nouvelles manières de trouver & de démontrer la proportion des lignes.

First edition. Complete with the errata leaf.
First publication of Pascal's work on magic squares.
The work, which would be called Géométrie de Port Royal, was born from the meeting of Antoine Arnauld with Pascal, and their friendly rivalry to make Euclid's geometry more understandable and to compose a manual for use in the Petites écoles.
Pascal conceded that Arnauld's project was better than his, and destroyed his preparatory manuscript. Of Pascal's geometry, all that remains is his solution to magic squares, which Arnauld would place in the appendix of his own work.
The teaching of mathematics in France was lastingly affected and, until Legendre, almost all authors of geometry manuals adopted the views of Port-Royal.
The second state of sheet 251-252, and the rare errata sheet are as described by Dominique Descotes and testify to the modifications made by Arnauld during printing.
