Abstract

[This chapter is dedicated to two men, two works and a plagiarism. On the face of it, the plagiarism should come as no surprise, as the history of science is replete with similar conflicts from time to time. The unusual thing here is the special relation that existed between these two men: the father and son, and the father plagiarised the son. They are Daniel and Johann Bernoulli, members of an outstanding family of mathematicians.1 Both are actors known to us, as they have previously appeared in these pages, and they will continue to show up after this chapter that discusses their principal works. These works are the Hydrodynamica, sive de viribus et motibus fluidorum comentarii (Hydrodynamics or Commentaries on Forces and Motions of Fluids) and the Hydraulica, equally valuable and famous milestones along the road of the science of fluids.]
