Astronomy BAYLE (Pierre) Various thoughts written to a Doctor of the Sorbonne, on the occasion of the Comet which appeared in December 1680. Rotterdam, Leers, 1683. 2 volumes in-12 : 2f, 410pp / 1f, 411-811pp, 7f. (table). Old stiff vellum with covers, handwritten title on spine. A fine copy in contemporary binding. Edition that follows the original edition by one year. The discussion of the natural phenomenon that was the passage of the comet of December 1680 is the occasion for the philosopher to deliver an interesting criticism of superstition and religious fanaticism, to which he opposes, as a precursor of the Enlightenment, rationalism and freedom of expression.
