Sir Isaac Newton (UK, 1642-1727) was already acclaimed in life as one of the great minds of Humanity. Did you know that in addition to contributions as impressive as the law of gravity or the laws of motion, Newton even calculated the year of the end of the world based on biblical predictions? His spirit was an all-encompassing; his studies were not limited to a single branch of science, but went from mathematics to theology, through physics, philosophy and even alchemy. We owe in a large part to his studies and reasoning the description of the world in which we live today immersed today.
All this has been reflected both in his publications and in his innumerable notebooks that are still preserved today. It is known that Newton, from an early age, was already using notebooks to take notes. On his notebooks, we can see today notes on his readings (like this page that I show here belonging to the Trinity College Notebook), sketches of his many and varied inventions, his reflections on religion and theology ...
As a curiosity, I tell you that recently his alma mater, Trinity College, has digitized and published online several of his notebooks and other papers with notes of his studies both before graduating and after, where you can appreciate the development of his thinking. If you want to flip through a bit of history, here are some of these links:
