| Aug 10, 2016 at 15:03 | comment | added | Mikhail Katz | Historians are fond of accusing each other of whiggish history so this aspect is best ignored. Weil's criticism of Mahoney's take on Fermat's adequality is well-taken. | |
| Aug 10, 2016 at 14:39 | comment | added | Joël | Weil's review of Mahoneys book on Fermat 's excellent and worth reading fro anyone interested in these questions. Michael Harris sharply criticizes it (and Weil's general attitude about historians of mathematics) in his blog post linked by Zurab, but he does not really give any argument against it. | |

| Aug 9, 2016 at 22:52 | comment | added | Gerry Myerson | Weil wrote a scathing review of Mahoney's book, Bull. Amer. Math. Soc. Volume 79, Number 6 (1973), 1138-1149, also available from projecteuclid.org/euclid.bams/1183535132 | |
| Aug 9, 2016 at 15:51 | comment | added | Yemon Choi | The second paragraph looks useful. Perhaps I am being slow, but could you explain why the first paragraph is relevant to understanding the intellectual and sociological history of Fermat and his intellectual/ mathematical milieu? | |
