| Jun 19, 2018 at 17:36 | comment | added | Carlo Beenakker | the study by Azevedo that I cite in my answer says (page 116) that the "parabolis virtualis" of de Saint-Vincent is the lemniscate of Gerono. The "parabolis virtualis" is on pages 847, 854, and 855 of the Opus geometricum, but those pages do not have a figure that I recognize as a lemniscate. | |
