  1. Perhaps also of interest here is the ï instead of i. I don't know of any rule that would explain this, and I'd never seen Alfred Binet written thusly.

    Maybe double-dotted because the bi- indicates two of something?

    1. Yeah, I wonder about that - it would be odd for it to be a typo. Oddly enough, French references to Binet seem to prefer Bïnet.
