Jun 18, 2020 at 12:28 comment added YCor Oh, thanks. My knowledge on that part of history was mainly based on Wüssing's book, and I actually see that this 1868 memoir is indeed mentioned therein (p196-197), which I had overseen or forgotten.
Jun 18, 2020 at 11:51 comment added Francois Ziegler @YCor §§14-15 “Il nous reste à examiner le cas où parmi les rotations du groupe, il en existe une $A_\varrho$ dont l’amplitude $\varrho$ soit infiniment petite (...) Le groupe contenant une rotation quelconque autour d’un quelconque de ces axes, contiendra toutes les rotations possibles (...) 6ème type. Il est formé par l’ensemble de tous les mouvements de rotation possibles.”

Jun 18, 2020 at 6:12 comment added YCor In Jordan's 1868 paper all groups are finite, so how could the real group $\mathrm{(S)O}(3)$ be defined?
