Chapter Chapter 2 in Nicolas Chuquet, Renaissance Mathematician, 1985, pp 14-26 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Who was Nicolas Chuquet? It is extremely difficult to answer this question in detail. Chuquet tells us very little about himself. What he does tell us is to be found at the end of the Triparty, where he writes: And thus to the honour of the glorious Trinity ends this book, which on account of these three principal parts I call Triparty. And also because it has been made by Nicolas Chuquet, Parisian, Bachelor of Medicine, I call it the Triparty of Nicolas in the science of numbers, which was begun, continued and finished at Lyon on the Rhone, the year of salvation 1484.
