I've seen this book referred to as "Treatise on the World," but never as simply "The World." Does anyone have a good reference as to which is proper? uriah923(talk) 00:20, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

It was published as "The World" in French, with the subtitle "Treatise on light." Sometimes the two get confused, but the article title is correct. I have added short coverage of contents, partly cribbed from "atomism" article, and a table of contents. I know the capitalization of the latter looks wacky, but that's the way it is in the English translation. Please nobody try to "fix" it! Maestlin 21:17, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
