Johann Abraham Kromayer 1665-1733 views the Arabic language as the "daughter" believed to be more recent who helps to extract meaning from the "mother" the earlier Hebrew of the Scriptures. Kromayer here labors somewhat in the shadow of his contemporary the Dutch orientalist Albert Schultens a great pioneer of such comparative studies in the Semitic tongues especially Arabic in the interest of biblical exegesis.

H. A. Chatelain fue un pastor hugonote de origen parisino que vivió en ParÃs St. Martins Londres ca. 1710 La Haya ca. 1721 y Amsterdam ca 1728. Es reconocido como un gran cartógrafo alemán en especial por su gran obra el "Atlas Historique" que fue publicado en Amsterdam entre 1705 y 1720. Innovador para su tiempo por la gran calidad y exactitud cartográfica de sus mapas bellamente grabados al cobre que iban acompañados con gran cantidad de planchas igualmente grabadas al cobre conteniendo multitud de datos históricos genealógicos heráldicos nobiliarios etnográficos cosmográficos todos ellos bellamente ornamentados artÃsticamente con muchas ilustraciones. Cada lámina va numerada individualmente e indicando el número de tomo correspondiente. Los grabados y tablas de esta obra están realizados por los mejores autores del momento como: Dapper Chardin de Bruyn Le Hay y otros. Muchos mapas están basados en los trabajos del gran geógrafo Guillaume de L'Isle. Esta formidable obra fue presentada por la Familia Chatelain en forma de enciclopedia. Los textos van impresos a dos columnas por lo general. Al parecer algunos eruditos dudan de que Henri Abraham Chatelain fuese el único autor de esta magna obra - ya que en el libro solo figuran escritas como autor las iniciales "Mr. C."- y suponen que en su realización colaboró toda la familia en especial su hermano ZacarÃas Chatelain y su padre tambien ZacarÃas.

1725153270London: Printed by W. P. and sold by Francis Fayram Benj. Motte W. Pearson 1725. Life expectancy as probability First edition of a founding work of actuarial science de Moivre's influential study of annuities based upon the mortality statistics gathered in the 1690s by Edmund Halley. De Moivre was perhaps the first to develop probability theory extensively and the first to use probability theory to write a comprehensive work on life contingencies. In Annuities upon Lives de Moivre formulated that among a body of persons over a certain age the successive annual decreases by death are nearly equal. He applied the theory of probability to the systematic investigation of problems concerning annuities upon lives. "De Moivre's contribution to annuities lies not in his evaluation of the demographic facts then known but on his derivation of formulas for annuities based on a postulated law of mortality and constant rates on money. Here one finds the treatment of joint annuities on several lives the inheritance of annuities problems about the fair division of the costs of a tontine and other contracts in which both age and interest on capital are relevant. This mathematics became a standard part of all subsequent commercial applications in England" Ian Hacking in the Dictionary of Scientific Biography.
