Abstract

This paper focuses on the writings on probability by Giovanni Rizzetti (1675–1751), who was a member of the group of Venetian scholars around Count Jacopo Riccati (1676–1754). We deal with his approach to probability and, more particularly, with his argumentation on Bernoulli's theorem. The research develops Rizzetti's reasonings as contained in his printed works (1724–1729) as well as in certain key manuscripts. The texts of the latter may be found in the appendix. The statements of Rizzetti seem very interesting; they are situated between the empirical law of chance and the law of large numbers.
