Dites, gens qui vous y connaissez en maths et/ou en histoire, profs, chercheureuses, etc : Histoire universelle des chiffres de Georges Ifrah, c'est un bon bouquin ou bien une fumisterie (ça peut être bien sûr plus nuancé) ? Je lis sur Wikipédia que les travaux d'Ifrah sont controversés mais je ne sais pas où chercher des infos, je suis même pas sûre de comprendre… Merci d'avance, que des pétales de violette et des tissus moelleux soient sur votre chemin.
