Richard Popkin's meticulous translation--the most complete since the eighteenth
century--contains selections from thirty-nine articles, as well as from Bayle's
four Clarifications. The bulk of the major articles of philosophical and theolog
ical interest--those that influenced Leibniz, Berkeley, Hume, and Voltaire and f
ormed the basis for so many eighteenth-century discussions--are present, includi
ng David, Manicheans, Paulicians, Pyrrho, Rorarius, Simonides, Spinoza, and Zeno
of Elea.
