Talk:Louis, Duke of Burgundy

message: Read Gates of Gold for a better look at the royal family the year the Duc de Bourgogne died. It's a kid's book but a real eye opener!!!
:He is normally known as "Duke of Burgundy" than as Dauphin, which he was for less than a year. john k (talk) 00:23, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

message: This should be renamed "Louis, Duke of Burgundy", which is more correct and more coherent with other articles of the same kind.Montjoy Pursuivant (talk) 09:21, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

message: This seems unclear. Was he ever called Dauphin/Petit Dauphin during his father's lifetime, or is this just some unofficial title by which he was called while his father lived? Emerson 07 (talk) 10:33, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

*Support. He is the most notable Louis, Duke of Burgundy. The current title is too long to type. Reigen (talk) 05:34, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: *User:John K and User:Montjoy Pursuivant's comment above; the original name of the page; the fact that the other dukes of Burgundy were never even adults.  Srnec (talk) 18:40, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

message: By a strange oversight, Louis isn't mentioned in the disambiguation article of Duke of Burgundy, even though he's one of the best-known holders of the title; when people in France or in an Early Modern history context mention the title as a person, this is mostly the guy they are referring to. Could someone include him over there? 83.254.135.89 (talk) 00:10, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Louis, Louis, Louis and Louis 

message: I've removed an image of the title page of a Latin edition of this book. It'd be good to see something about this book in the article, but it needs some context, and the context isn't immediately clear.
The Nicolas de Malézieu article say the book is composed of "lessons in mathematics that he [Malézieu] gave to the duc de Bourgogne over four years in 1705." On the other hand, I think this article states that the book consists of lessons written by Louis. He wrote them as part of his geometry homework, so to speak, over four years under Malézieu, with Malézieu then publishing them with minor edits. This seems to be what Malézieu says in the preface to the text itself
Another source I can't find at the moment states that Malézieu probably wrote the sections that ventured into calculus, but Leibniz in his letters to Sophie of Hanover seems to think that Louis wrote the whole thing (pp. 145-55).
I'm leaving these notes here in case anyone has a good source that could clear things up. Tenthweb (talk) 23:53, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
