An episode starring the residue theorem in the history of elliptic functions

In this paper we explain how the Residue Theorem was used -perhaps for the rst time- to determine the Laurent series development of an elliptic function. This great achievement in the history of Elliptic Functions is due to the French professors Briot and Bouquet. We also draw some conclusions on the role of the historical emergence of Complex Analysis, as a general theory, in the development of Elliptic Functions.
