DANIEL (Gabriel, Father). *Descartes’ Journey Around the World*. Utrecht: Étienne Neaulme, 1732. In-12 brown calfskin, decorated ribbed spine (contemporary binding). Top cap missing. Woodcut illustrations throughout. One fold-out plate. New edition of this work of satirical philosophy, first published in Paris by the widow of Simon Bénard in 1690. Father Gabriel Daniel (1649–1728), a Jesuit and historian, develops a critique of Cartesianism in the original form of an imaginary journey through the universe conceived by Descartes. One of the earliest works of interplanetary travel fiction, it also reflects the philosophical and scientific controversies of the late 17th century.
