Synopsis "Mission a Berlin Lettres a Jean III Bernoulli Et a Elert Bode (in French)"

English summary: Jerome Lalande was the quintessential astronomer of the Enlightenment. This collection of his correspondence traces his erudite and friendly relations with other astronomers such as Leonhard Euler and his son Albrecht, Jean Bernoulli, and Elert Bode. Also included are three treatises by Lalande on the distance between the Earth and the Moon, between the Earth and the Sun, and the mapping of the sky. French description: Jerome Lalande fut par excellence l'astronome du siecle des Lumieres. Son voyage, tres jeune homme, a Berlin, lui ouvrit les contacts utiles a sa vie d'astronome. Il conte avec un humour serieux les aleas de son voyage, et ses contacts avec la cour de Frederic II, ses premieres veritables experiences comme astronome. Il y rencontra Leonhard Euler dont le fils Albrecht devint son grand ami. Plus tard, avec notamment le savant suisse Jean III Bernoulli, qui avait ete appele a l'Academie de Berlin apres le depart d'Euler, Lalande entretient une correspondance amicale et studieuse. Enfin, avec Elert Bode, nomme Directeur de l'Obser vatoire de Berlin, il poursuit cet echange plaisant, anime de l'invention des constellations nouvelles que Lalande suggere au cartographe du Ciel qu'etait son collegue. Cette correspondance est completee par trois articles substantiels couvrant les preoccupations principales de Lalande au cours des trois periodes de cette correspondance. Ils concernent la determination de la distance de la Lune a la Terre (1751-1752), puis de celle du Soleil (passages de Venus en 1761 et 1769), enfin la construction des catalogues et des cartes du Ciel.
