# Posthumous Traité de l’équilibre des liqueurs publishes Pascal’s hydrostatics

Date: 1663

## The fact

In 1663 the Traité de l’équilibre des liqueurs and related pieces appeared, stating pressure in fluids later taught as [Pascal](/people/blaise-pascal)’s law. He had died in 1662. Printers and family issued the physics.

## Context

Hydrostatics later supports presses, syringes, and engineering. Direct clinical welfare is a long lag.

Blaise Pascal is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.

## Evidence and sources

Official or museum/library pages and an independent publisher independently describe this instrument.

Official or archival record: Traité de l’équilibre des liqueurs — Internet Archive (https://archive.org/details/traitdulquilib00pasc; Internet Archive).

## Significance

A printed pressure law is a bounded health-and-engineering capacity path, not a hospital staffing Fact.

## What is established and what is not

Established as a dated public record of this instrument.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.
Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, and museums are not converted into extra lifetime acts. The attached driver is infectious-disease-transmission. The welfare reading used in this dossier is improving. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself. Confidence is stated on the impact path. A later English edition is not a recovered autograph. If a number is not in the two records named above, it is not supplied here.
