Excerpt from An Historical and Critical Dictionary, Vol. 2 of 4: Selected and Abridged From the Great Work of Peter Bayle; With a Life of Bayle Quomodo 11dem dicitis non omnia deos persequn 11dem vultis a diis immortalibus hominibus dispartiri ac dividi somnis -how comes it that you say the gods do not perform all things, and at the same time affirm that all dreams proceed from them? Primum igitur 1 says he, intelligendum est, nullam vim esse divinam effectricem somniorum. Atque illud quidem perspicuum est, nulla visa somniorum proficisci h numine deorum. Nostra enim causa dii id facerent, ut providers futura possemus. Quotus igitur est quisque, qui somniis pareat? Qui intelligat? Qui meminerit? Quam multi verb, qui contemnant; eamque superstitionem imbecilli animi, atque anilis putent? Quid est igitur, cur his hominibus consu lens dens, somniis monest eos, qui illa non modo cura, sed ne memoria quidem digna ducant? Nec enim ignorare deus potest, qua mente quisque sit: nec frustra, ac sine causa quid facere, dignum deo est quod abhorret etiam ab hominis constantia. Ita si pleraque somnis aut ignorantur, aut negliguntur; aut nescit hoc deus, aut frustra somniorum significa tione utitur. Sed horum neutrum in deum cadit. Nihil igitur a deo somnus significari fatendum est. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Richard Popkin's meticulous translation--the most complete since the eighteenth century--contains selections from thirty-nine articles, as well as from Bayle's four Clarifications. The bulk of the major articles of philosophical and theological interest--those that influenced Leibniz, Berkeley, Hume, and Voltaire and formed the basis for so many eighteenth-century discussions--are present, including David, Manicheans, Paulicians, Pyrrho, Rorarius, Simonides, Spinoza, and Zeno of Elea.
