I am interested in Antoine Lavoisier's intellectual formation/background. Is there any available list of the books which Antoine Lavoisier read, especially ones on science/mathematics/philosophy (even if only a partial list)?

There is online a Panopticon Lavoisier which is a tool for searching the Archives de l’Académie des sciences, Fonds Lavoisier. The link to "library" is introduced thus:

The catalogue of Lavoisier's library was published in 1995 by Marco Beretta (Bibliotheca Lavoisieriana. The Catalogue of the Library of Antoine Laurent Lavoisier. Florence: Leo S. Olschki). In 1998 a new collection of books bearing Lavoisier's bookplate was found at the Bibliothèque de l'Institut. The digital catalogue of Lavoisier's library includes all the new findings and, in a few cases, the digitalization of some title. In the guided visit to the data-base the books are arranged alphabetically by author.
