Re: query re Balthasar Bekker



We have volume 1 only, and the catalog record says "No more
published." The translator may have simply run out of gas (or the
publisher ran out of funds) after volume 1.

Best regards,

Does anyone have a four-volume English edition of Balthasar Bekker's The
World Bewitched (De Betoverde Wereeld)?  If not, does anyone know why
volumes 2, 3, and 4 of this controversial work did not follow the 1695
English translation of volume 1 (translated from the French, which was
translated from the original Dutch), printed by R. Baldwin (Richard
Baldwin)?  (Volumes 2 and 4 are much more interesting.)

Thanks for your replies.
