Jun 19, 2018 at 7:58 comment added Carlo Beenakker indeed, "besace" = "bisaccium" = "Quersack" (no idea how this would translate into english...)

Jun 19, 2018 at 7:15 comment added Mikhail Katz The French term besace for this curve should be mentioned somewhere in this page.

Jun 18, 2018 at 17:10 comment added sand1 Lissajous' thesis "On the positions of nodes..." was printed in Nov. 1850 (now in googlebooks). He uses a formula with sin and cos which somebody might check to tell us if this precedes Gerono.

Jun 18, 2018 at 15:09 comment added Francois Ziegler @Carlo: Essai sur l’histoire de la géométrie des courbes, Ann. sc. Ac. Polyt. Porto IV (1909) 65-112. ZBL40.0067.02. Calls the curve a huit (pp. 77, 84, 86, 110), same in De l’usage des figures de l’espace pour la définition et la transformation de certaines courbes (1895, pp. 267-269; 1896, pp. 29-31, 132, 177). Apparently no mention of Gerono.

Jun 18, 2018 at 8:50 comment added Mikhail Katz I think this Aubry contributed an essay to the collected works of Fermat published by Tannery and Henry. I am not sure it's the same essay though.
