First sentence: Half-way through the eight month period from December 1640 to August 1641, during which the manuscript of the Meditationes was being prepared for publication in Paris, Descartes sent to the Minim friar, Marin Mersenne (1588-1648), the final section of his replies to the objections of Antoine Arnauld (1612-1694).
