Remarques
Princess Evdokia Golitzyna (1780-1850), nicknamed Princesse Nocturne (due to her late night soirées) was a famous high society personality in 19th century St. Petersburg. At a later age she began dabbling in metaphysics and mathematics. Her "scientific" work was classified by the Russian academic world as utterly insane. First published in Russian in St. Petersburg. Curious and very rare.
