Historical and Critical Dictionary

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 theological interest —those that influenced Leibniz, Berkeley, Hume, and Voltaire and formed the basis for so many eighteenth-century discussions—are present, including “David”, “Manicheans,” “Paulicians,” “Pyrrho,” “Rorarius,” “Simonides,” “Spinoza,” and “Zeno of Elea.”
