Abstract:
Presentation of an unknown edition (Venezia, 1749) of Clairaut's memory concerning the law of the gravitation in the worldsystem. The author insists in the difficulty of conciliating the examined mouvement of the apogee of the moon with the one given by the calculs of the Newton law. This edition contains some unpublished pieces of Clairaut permitting a preciser view of his standpoint in November 1748
