The paper under review gives an account of René Descartes' mathematical achievements in 1628--1629. The study developed in this work relies on contemporary documents without projecting onto them a hidden practice for which we have no evidence, direct or indirect. The author also gives a meaning to many texts which remain in the retrospective view mysterious.
