8-Pierre de Carcavi (1600-1684), mathematician, geometrician, King's librarian
9-Christiaan Huygens (1629-1695), Dutch mathematician, physicist and astronomer

Hypothetical identifications
11-Abbé Jean Picard (1620-1682), astronomer and mathematician
12-Philippe de La Hire (1640-1718), astronomer, mathematician, geometrician, and member of the royal Academy in 1678
13-Abbé Edme Mariotte (around 1620-1684), physicist
14-Jacques Borelly (around 1623-1689), chemist. It is apparently on his suggestion to Cardinal d'Estrées that Vincenzo Coronelli would have realized the two globes, one representing the planets, the other the stars, which explains why he is represented unveiling a globe in the present composition.
