In the wikipedia page on sheaf theory I found the following statement which somehow puzzled me:
some of the facets of sheaf theory can also be traced back as far as Leibniz.
Could anyone explain that further? Which ideas where contained in Leibniz which are part (or at least a seed) of sheaf theory? Bibiographic reference to passages from Leibniz would be welcome, as well as some conceptual clarification of the point being made.
Thanks in advance
