Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the relationships between two algebraists of the mid-sixteenth century France (Jacques Peletier du Mans and Pierre de La Ramee), and their printers, (Guillaume Cavellat, Jean de Tournes and Andre Wechel). Both authors published a treatise on algebra at a time when they were involved in a debate concerning French spelling. Did the consideration of these authors concerning symbolism had something to do with their reflections on vernacular language? In Peletier and Ramus's books, the symbolism is specific. Was their choice with regards to the use of symbolism influenced by their printers, or not?
在本文中,我们研究了16世纪中期法国的两位代数家(Jacques Peletier du Mans和Pierre de La Ramee)和他们的印刷商(Guillaume Cavellat, Jean de Tournes和Andre Wechel)之间的关系。两位作者都发表了一篇关于代数的论文,当时他们正卷入一场关于法语拼写的辩论。这些作者对象征主义的思考是否与他们对本土语言的思考有关?在Peletier和Ramus的书中,象征主义是具体的。他们在使用象征主义方面的选择是否受到印刷商的影响?
