Manuscript course of the 18th century: university course given in Louvain [?] in 1786. Manuscript in Latin on paper in-12. Title leaf: "Tractatus de Motu hac 7 aprilis 1786", ff. 1-132, and "Quaestiones de Motu hac 10 junii 1786", ff. 133-194, 5 printed folding plates (CHBecker ex lov [aniensi]), half vellum of the time (missing from the binding). "The engravings, scientific or ornamental, appear in the courts in the 17th century. The students acquired them from booksellers-printers. They were generally anonymous. However we know Charles Becker, a draughtsman and engraver who had a workshop in Louvain during the second half of the 17th century. His plates were still prized in 1775" (Françoise Hiraux and Françoise Mirguet, La collection des cours manuscrits d'Ancien régime de l'Université catholique de Louvain).
