Description: "This book contains 15 essays by scholars from the Netherlands, France, Italy, England and the United States on Pierre Bayle (1647-1706), the French Protestant who found refuge in Rotterdam just before the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes (1685). From the early 1680s onward, Bayle published a series of seminal works, culminating in his Dictionaire historique el critique (1697), which is generally regarded to have served as the "arsenal" of the Enlightenment. In this volume both Bayle's philosophy and his theological views are assessed as well as his impact on the Enlightenment and beyond."--Jacket.
