This complete edition of Newton's optical papers contains two
volumes: the first details his Optical Lectures, delivered at
Cambridge University between 1670 and 1672, while the second
documents the evolution of the Opticks, the most influential
optical and experimental work of the eighteenth century. The
Lectures is Newton's first major scientific treatise, and
represents a crucial link between his early years of discovery and
his mature publications. The complete text of both surviving
versions of the Lectures, an early version and a vastly expanded
revision, is included here, together with translation and
commentary. The second volume opens with the first edition of the
Opticks (1704) and the first draft in Latin. The manuscripts of the
queries that Newton added to the Latin translation in 1706 and the
second English edition (1717) follow this, accompanied by shorter
manuscripts, copious notes and commentary. This is an essential
resource for the study of Newtonian science.
