The Mathematical Association of America's website has this to say about Ozanam and his books: "Jacques Ozanam (1640-1717) was a prolific French mathematician who is best remembered for his Récréations mathématiques et physiques first published in two volumes in 1694. ... The work was eventually expanded to four volumes and saw ten editions over two hundred years."
