Additional Details

Collected edition comprising Principia philosophiae, Specimina philosophiae seu Dissertatio de methodo, and Passiones animae, the latter with the imprint of Elizeus Weyerstraet; lacking Meditationes de prima philosophia. Overlooked by Guibert, who records only the 1664 Weyerstraet Passiones animae with incorrect pagination.
