by Pontus de Tyard, edited by Jean Ceard
The Premier Curieux by Pontus de Tyard has the ambition of presenting in French a “state of contemporary science” in the form of a dialogue. From astronomy to meteorology, from physics to zoology, all fields of knowledge are presented.

Review - French Publie en 1557, augmente et reedite en 1578, adjoint auxDiscours philosophiquesen 1587,Le Premier Curieuxde Pontus de Tyard a pour ambition de presenter en francais un etat de la science sous la forme d'un dialogue : au Curieux, qui a la charge de l'expose, le Solitaire oppose ses exigences methodologiques et Hieromnime ses objections theologiques. De l'astronomie a la meteorologie, de la physique des elements a la zoologie, tous les champs du savoir sont consideres : Tyard recrit pour aujourd'hui leDe mundod'Aristote. S'il fait grand cas de la science ancienne, il n'ignore rien de la science contemporaine ; sans adherer a l'astronomie de Copernic, il en percoit l'importance et l'interet. Et la vraye cognoissance des choses est a ses yeux la fin de l'homme et la marque de sa dignite.
