Abstract
[Autom. eng. transl.] THE VOLUME COLLECTS TWELVE ESSAYS DEDICATED TO RECONSTRUCTING ABOVE ALL THE GENESIS AND LONG GESTATION OF ISAAC NEWTON'S TWO MASTERPIECES: THE PHILOSOPHIAE NATURALIS PRINCIPIA MATHEMATICA (1687) AND THE OPTICKS (1704). AT THE SAME TIME, HOWEVER, THROUGH A CROSS-READING WITH THE LARGE HERITAGE OF MANUSCRIPTS LEFT UNPUBLISHED BY NEWTON, THE RELIGIOUS AND METAPHYSICAL BACKGROUND OF THESE WORKS IS ALSO SHOWN, NOT ALWAYS SO EVIDENT IN THE PRINTED VERSION.
