Correspondence between a mathematician and his high school teacher (Mr. Joffray). Sounds mighty interesting, especially since I'm teaching Cicero's and Pliny's letters this semester.
The correspondence's exclusive focus on mathematics is particularly interesting, considering the long-term friendship between the two and the many up-and-downs including family disasters that they experienced.
This comment coming from the author is also intriguing: "Mr. Joffray made me feel like I could teach him."
