A Humphrey Newton transcription of an amended version of "De motu corporum", c December 1684
Scope and Contents
Humphrey Newton's transcription of Newton's corrected primary autograph (Add. 3965.7: 55-62) amplified by an augmented set of introductory 'Definitions' and by new 'scholia' to Theorum 4 and Problem 5 and further altered and slightly amended by Newton's own hand. According to Whiteside, "By and large these latter changes convert the present text into corresponding portions of [Add. 3965.5]."
