'sGravesande found the lighthearted treatment of infinitesimals and the infinite in Bernard de Fontenelle's Elemens de la geometrie de l'infini Paris 1727 unacceptable and he maintained his objections in the Journal litteraire against Fontenelle's rejoinder 1730." – DSB V p. 510.

2018réf. 2347210Dalcassian Publishing Company 2018. Reissue. Hard Cover. Fine/No Jacket. 6x0x9. Reissue. Brand new from publisher. 2018 Hard Cover. 324 pp. Based on the 1928 translation of Rev. Montague Summers edited by D.P. Curtin. Woodcut illustrations reproduced from the 1626 Compendium Maleficarum. A treatise on the prosecution of witches or at least those accused of witchcraft written by a German Catholic clergyman named Heinrich Kramer but rejected by the clergy at the University of Cologne. The common English translation of the title is The Hammer of Witches. A posthumous author credit has been given to Jakob Sprenger though there is cause to believe this is an erroneous attribution. Whatever the case its publication exacerbated the proliferation of witch trials over the next two centuries and its advocacy of torture and deception to obtain convictions in these trials is partly responsible for the frequently brutal nature of inquiries and punishments.
