Bernard de Fontenelle was a 17^th-century French scholar most known for his work ‘Plurality of Worlds’; however, his contributions to the scientific community are lasting beyond ‘Plurality’.

Notable figures represented in this work include William Harvey, Homer, Aesop, Socrates, Brutus, Michel Montaigne, Erasmus, Descartes, Moctezuma, and Hernando Cortez.

This rare, 1724 three-volume edition contains his famed ‘Dialogues’ as well as other works such as ‘Elogues’.
