This treatise is also historically contextualized, and it is presented as an example of Radical Enlightenment. The role of the different researchers of the Centrum en Tijdschrift voor de studie van de Verlichting en het vrije denken in the study of this (and other) clandestine treatise(s) is underscored.| Period | 11 Dec 2019 |
