On Leibniz’s theorem about the impossibility of squaring the circle and its relation with James Gregory’s Vera Circuli Quadratura

Original language description

This paper deals with Leibniz’s theorem about the impossibility of squaring the central conic sections, proven in his unpublished, long essay “De Quadratura arithmetica...”.Thanks to new manuscript sources, I will show the deep links between Leibniz’s theorem and a similar theorem proven by James Gregory in 1667.
