références: DSB [III pp. 212/214 : "The Aperçu historique established Chasles' reputation both as a geometer and a historian of mathematics. He saw clearly the basic concepts and their ramifications in what is now known as projective geometry, and his texts were influential in the teaching of that subject in Germany and Great Britain as well as in France. The Aperçu historique remains a classic example of a good history of mathematics written by a mathematician"].
