International Archives of the History of Ideas/Archives internationales dhistoire des ides is a series which publishes scholarly works on the history of ideas in the widest sense of the word. It covers history of philosophy, science, political and religious thought and other areas in the domain of intellectual history. The chronological scope of the series extends from the Renaissance to the Post-Enlightenment. Founded in 1963 by R.H. Popkin and Paul Dibon, the International Archives of the History of Ideas/Archives internationales dhistoire des ides publishes, edits and translates sources that have been either unknown hitherto, or unavailable, and publishes new research in intellectual history, and new approaches within the field. The range of recent volumes in the series includes studies on skepticism, astrobiology in the early modern period, as well as translations and editions of original texts, such as the Treatise of the Hypochondriack and Hysterick Diseases (1730) by Bernard Mandeville.

All books to be published in this Series will be fully peer-reviewed before final acceptance.

Dedication

I usually called [chemistry] the breviary of nature; for the same wonderful effects which she operates in this world of ours, the art of the chemist exhibits in a narrow compass before the eyes of the spectators. (Huet, Memoirs, IV, 23)

To Elene Pereira Maia, my beloved chemist, whose art made me a spectator of the wonderful effects of life.

A vast amount of [Huets] writing and correspondence still remains unpublished. It shows that he was a central figure in the republic of letters of the time, who deserves much more attention than he has been given. (R. Popkin, The History of Scepticism from Savonarola to Bayle, p. 281)

In memory of Richard H. Popkin (19232005).

Acknowledgements

This book is the main result of long research on early modern skepticism started in 1991 in Paris. It required, since then, many travels to that city to work on the books and papers which belonged to Huet preserved at the Bibliothque Nationale de France. I thank all institutions which supported this research, the library to begin with. My first research in Paris was funded by the International Society for Intellectual History. I thank (in memory) Constance Blackwell who was its founder and director at the time. I also thank the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG), Belo Horizonte, Brazil, in particular my colleagues in the Department who granted me sabbatical leaves, first to develop the research in Paris and more recently to write the book. The Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cientfico e Tecnolgico (CNPQ); the agreement CAPES (Brazil)/COFECUB (France); the cole Pratique des Hautes tudes (EPHE-SSR), in particular professors Jean-Robert Armogathe and Hubert Bost; and the Universit Degli Studi Del Piemonte Orientale A. Avogrado, Professor Gianni Paganini in particular, also provided funds for my research in Paris and Caen. I thank Richard Popkin (in memory), April Shelford, and Alison Howell for sending me personal research materials. This book would not be possible without the research on Huet previously done by Lon Tolmer, Richard Popkin, Elena Rapetti, April Shelford, and Thomas Lennon. I thank all scholars with whom I discussed Huet and who sent me published materials on Huet: Thomas Lennon (with whom I had the privilege to give a course on Huet at UFMG), Richard Popkin and Richard Watson (in memory), April Shelford, Elena Rapetti, Gianni Paganini, Jean-Robert Armogathe, Vincent Carraud, Gilles Olivo, and Sbastien Charles. I also thank my former graduate students Flvio Loque, Bruna Martins, and Ana Cludia Teodoro, and my wife Elene Pereira Maia for continuous support and incentive. Finally, I thank two Springer reviewers for many helpful suggestions and one of them in particular for editing the whole manuscript.
