Transcription

Des Maizeaux sends Sloane an issue of the ‘Journal de trevoux’ and hopes he enjoys it more than the last one. He reminds Sloane of the book the latter promised to procure for him, the ‘Marfore ou Discours contre les libelles’ by Gabriel Naude. He asks if Sloane might have Jean Baptiste Nocette’s ‘bouclier celeste’ and hopes Sloane does not forget to bring the ‘Nouvelles litteraires’ received from Italy when he comes to the conference. Des Maizeaux was a French Huguenot writer in exile in London known for his translations of Pierre Bayle as well as publications of his own (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_des_Maizeaux).
