I have a handwritten scientific paper of Leonhard Euler (hugely influential mathematician of the 18th century). I have shown it to two Euler experts, both of whom said they have no doubt it's…Continue

Can anyone weigh in on whether this document is authentic? It is a paper on differential equations, written in Latin and appears to be signed by Euler at the top. The bifolium paper seems correct for…Continue

"Thanks, Steve, I really appreciate the advice, and I plan to follow it. It never occurred to me that the difference could potentially be that large. I'll find out before I let it go."
"I agree.
The people who might be interested in this are not looking through ebay. "
"I'd talk to auction houses first. I don't know the market for Euler material, but if an ALS sells for +/- $10,000 or so, I wouldn't be surprised if a multi-page scientific paper is worth six-figures.
Talk to appropriate museums and…"
"Thanks for the helpful info, Steve! I do plan to sell it, but I'm hoping to get it authenticated and list it on eBay first. I have a small autograph business on eBay, and find that if I give it time with the premium items I come across, I…"
"I moved this to our Is This Autograph Real? forum."
"If the reason you want authentication is to sell it, you don't need to. The right auction house will handle it.
Swann in NYC sold an Autograph Letter Signed for $10,000 in 2015. They're a highly reputable auction house, and up there…"
Who Would You Send this to for Authentication?
I have a handwritten scientific paper of Leonhard Euler (hugely influential mathematician of the 18th century). I have shown it to two Euler experts, both of whom said they have no doubt it's authentic. I'd like to get it authenticated, but there's the problem.Most of the existing examples of Leonhard Euler's handwriting are letters, and from decades later. This paper, and his signature, are written very neatly and formally in Latin, because this paper was meant to be submitted for publication,…See More
"In case anyone is interested, I contacted a Euler scholar, and he feels certain this is authentic! He provided a bunch of information about it, and was pretty happy to have a scan, because scholars were not previously aware of its existence."
"I remember seeing this on Thee-bay - as it was called then. About 1801 as I remember. Probably fake.
You might get better advice on a manuscriptologist's forum.
Yes, manuscriptologist is a word!"
Leonhard Euler - 18th Century Mathematician - Is this Authentic?
Can anyone weigh in on whether this document is authentic? It is a paper on differential equations, written in Latin and appears to be signed by Euler at the top. The bifolium paper seems correct for the time period. I stumbled on this, and I'm trying not to let my hopes get too high! Thanks for any help with this.See More

"Unfortunately, I don't even think it's that good. It doesn't appear to even be Moe alone but rather someone else who attempted their signatures."
"So it seems as if this is likely a secretarial version of Moe signing for all three. Many thanks for the help in sorting that out. Unfortunately this was in a collection I acquired some time ago, so I already own it. I'll put it in my Not…"
"Moe was excellent at signing for all three and making them look convincing (he had a lot of practice over the years). One little difference is that he didn't often join the 'L' and 'a' in Larry like Larry himself…"

Bio
Posted on November 11, 2020 at 6:41am 0 Comments 0 Likes
Just thought I'd post a bit of biographical info. I was a writer for Autograph Collector Magazine back in the 1990s, when it still showed up in your mailbox in print form. I wrote maybe 25 feature articles. That was actually my first pro writing gig, which I did as a hobby when I was a psychology professor. These days I'm a full-time science fiction writer (my member pic is actually the cover of one of my novels). I won a Hugo award a while back, and I've written some young adult and middle…
