	abstract = {[Father Perotus. About a mistake by Vico]. This paper proposes the recognition of a not yet identified person cited by G. Vico in his De nostri temporis studiorum ratione (1709): the father Perotus, who reportedly made an abortive attempt to build an ideal ship according to the rules of analytical geometry. Vico{\textquoteright}s {\textquotedblleft}Perotus{\textquotedblright} (or Peroto, Perot, Perotti, as it has been variously translated) is identified as the French jesuit Paul Hoste, mathematician in Toulon at the end of the 17th Century.},
