Manuscript by a philosophy student from the University of Poitiers.
Author: Charles-François Faulcon-Alizard, born in 1758 in Châtellerault, then 19 years old.
Titled on a first sheet: "cursus philosophicus ad usus C.G. Faulcon Alizart accommodatus - Tomus quartus. Pictavii anno domini 1777".
Titled on a following sheet: "cursus philosophicus tomus IV - physica particularis"
[Poitiers], 1777. In-4, [4]-498–[4]p.
The manuscript ends with a table. It is signed on page 498 and on the 4th page of the table by Faulcon.
If the volume is tome "IV", it is an independent volume.
It is particularly about celestial bodies and physics in general: planets (Venus, Mars, Mercury, etc.), comets, lightning, electricity, meteorites, etc.
This is a beautiful theoretical course, there are no boards, no drawings.
The table is fully photographed at the end. 67561229
