Joan Francés Fulcònis was a mathematician born at Lieusola, today Isola in France, around 1520, who lived in Nice. He wrote La Cisterna Fulcronica, a treatise of arithmetic in Occitan printed in Lyon in 1562. Its references are Greek and Arab mathematicians, and it was inspired by Francés Pellos's Compendion de l'Abaco, the first book printed in Occitan, in 1492, though Fulcònis does not mention it directly. Both books are written in the Nissard dialect. Where the Compendion is more theoretical, the Cisterna is practically oriented to trade and gives many concrete examples that illustrate the life and commercial relations of his time. Roger Rocca and Rémy Gasiglia edited it in 1996.
