The work represents the pinnacle of his studies on calculus, and, although printed in Berlin, its publication was financially promoted by the Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg, the city in which Euler resided for periods in his life, receiving a pension from the Russian court. "The existence of an early Latin manuscript 'Calculi differentiali' conserved in the Archives of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Saint Petersburg [...] shows that Euler worked over a very long period to present his modern view of the differential calculus" (S.S. Demidov, Leonhard Euler, pp. 191-192).
