Specialist Notes
Really curious text in which the author, after having reminded readers that there is a punishment in the afterlife for sinners, reviews the opinions on where the place for them lies, arriving at the conclusion that it does not is located at the center of the earth, but rather on the sun, reaffirming the scientific theories of Copernicus, Tycho Brahe and Huygens on heliocentrism. Placed on the index in 1745, it was re-edited in 1757, the present one.
Caillet [III, 1728], Dorbon [4729 (ed. 1757)]
