(English Translation of Title)

Summary:

According to Eneström, this includes a derivation of important theorems on the theory of curves in space (for example, on the angle of elevation of the tangents and the radius of curvature, as well as the equation of the bending plane), as well as Euler's definition the spherical trigonomety.

This work consists of two parts:

Differtatio prior
