A bibliographical note listing several references and an old ownership inscription - "ex bibliotheca Kripperdorfia" - are written in old hand on the front blank. The Monarchia solipsorum is bitter satire written against the Jesuits which in its day caused quite a sensation. The author describes a secret society of "Solipsen" those who wish to govern entirely understood to mean the Jesuits. The supposed laws secret instructions and clandestine operations of the organization are discussed. The author's name is given as Lucius Cornelius Europaeus which is a pseudonym. Authorship is usually attributed to an ex-Jesuit named Jules Clement Scoti. Some however believe Melchior Inchofer who's name appeared on a later edition is the true author.
