SUMMARY. — In his Quadratura arithmetica circuli ellipseos et hyperbolae cujus corollarium est trigonometria sine tabulis, whose text, long believed lost, Eberhard Knobloch reconstituted, Leibniz opened up the field of a new transcendental geometry. He corrected and claimed to demonstrate rigorously the « method of indivisibles », and he showed that the indirect method of quadratures, based on a proof by reductio ad absurdum, and the direct method, based on infinitesimally small quantities, are equivalent. This equivalence soundly vindicated the differential calculus that Leibniz was developing during the same period. At the same time, however, this equivalence must also be linked to the philosophical justification of the theory of « expres...
