    Die Arbeit enthält eine gründliche und gut dokumentierte Darlegung der Grundlagendiskussion zur Infinitesimalrechnung von 1700-1706. Der Ausgangspunkt ist die Abhandlung von de l'Hôspital ``Analyse des infiniment petits... 1696''. (Leider erwähnt der Verf. nicht: \textit{P. Schafheitlin} (ed.), Die Differentialrechnung von Johann Bernoulli aus den Jahren 1691-1692, Ostwald Klassiker 211 (Leipzig 1924) sowie Dict. Sci. Biogr. VIII, 304-305). Verf. beginnt mit der ausführlichen Darlegung der Auffassung de l'Hôspitals und seiner Anhänger, insbesondere mit der Bedeutung der Gleichung \(x+dx=x\). Dies gibt Anlaß zur Kritik des Algebraikers M. Rolle, was anhand von Beispielen gezeigt wird. 1706 jedoch bekennt sich Rolle auf Grund des umfassenden Erfolges zur Infinitesimalrechnung. Der Verf. benützt u.a. zu seinen Darlegungen den Briefwechsel von Johann I. Bernoulli mit Pierre Varignon [Der Briefwechsel von Johann I. Bernoulli, Band 2: Der Briefwechsel mit Pierre Varignon, Erster Teil: 1692-1702, ed. von \textit{D. Speiser} (Basel 1988; Zbl 0641.01025)].
