Pierre-Charles Pradier et al., « Exposé succinct et inédit de la contestation qui s’est élevée entre d’Alembert et Bernoulli au sujet de l’inoculation de la petite vérole », HAL-SHS : histoire, philosophie et sociologie des sciences et des techniques, ID : 10670/1.qz8q17
The discussion between d'Alembert and Daniel Bernoulli about the mathematical theory of smallpox was related by many historians of science. Nevertheless, these scholars used an incomplete corpus of texts, neglecting 1) the latest memoirs of the Opuscules mathématiques, 2) some manuscript letters and documents related to the incident which happened at the Académie des sciences de Paris on December 1762. We insist on this second set of documents. The whole dossier will be included in the vol. III/2, III/4 and III/9 of the OEuvres complètes de d'Alembert.
