[NB in publicity materials use short description + first few review
quotes if short of space] Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) is one of the
most important figures in the history of European thought. Although
best known for his political theory, he also wrote about theology,
metaphysics, physics, optics, mathematics, psychology, and literary
criticism. All of these interests are reflected in his
correspondence. Some small groups of his letters have been printed
in the past (often in inaccurate transcriptions), but this edition
is the first complete collection of his correspondence, nearly half
of which has never been printed before. All the letters have been
transcribed from the original sources, and all materials in Latin,
French, and Italian are printed together with translations in clear
modern English. The letters are fully annotated, and there are long
biographical entries on all of his correspondents, based on
extensive original research. These two volumes form one of the most
significant and valuable publications of Hobbes scholarship this
century, casting a new light on the whole pattern of his
intellectual life and personal friendships.
