| May 26, 2015 at 12:51 | comment | added | R.P. | Too bad though that the 1670 citation for "Diophantus Problemes" (French?) is so unclear. I think the year coincides with the re-edition of Bachet's Diophantus, containing Fermat's marginal notes. I will try to find out if that is indeed the intended source. | |
