WOLF || KANT, Les Hypothèses Cosmogoniques, 1886

First edition.
Charles Wolf (1827-1918) is a French astronomer, he compiles in this book the different hypotheses then on the bench on the origin and destiny of the universe. We are 40 years before Abbé Lemaitre developed his theory of a primitive atom.

Subsequently he delivers a translation of a text by Kant on the history of the sky published in German in 1755, it is the first edition in French of Kant's text. Wolf's translation is still appreciated for its clarity.
