"Little is known of Michael Gottlieb Hansch. A theologian from Leipzig and adviser to the Emperor Charles VI he knew Leibniz personally from 1707 onwards. He was thus in an excellent position to acquaint himself with Leibnizian thought having been in correspondence with Leibiniz for five years prior to the writing of the Monadology 1707-13. The first 19 pages of the present work consisted of Hansch's Latin translation of Monadology. Then followed the geometrical demonstration of Leibniz's definitions 2 axioms and 114 theorems. Hansch's erudite commentary on the Monadology contains excerpts from Leibniz's letters and teems with references to the Leibniz-Clarke correspondence the Theodicy the Système nouveau Leibniz's reply to difficulties expressed by Bayle in his article Rosarius in tome II of the Receuil to the Oratio de Sinarum philosophica practica of Wolff. The book contributed to Condillac's understanding of Leibnizian thought" Hine pp. 94-95.
