A Franciscan Considers Materialism
DEL GIUDICE, Odoardo.
Psychologiae eclecticae elementa ad usum studiosae juventutis. Perugia, Constantiniana, 1793.
8vo, pp. 285, [3 including errata]; a very good copy in contemporary half vellum and marbled boards, early nineteenth-century inscription on the title.
First edition, very rare: OCLC records a single copy, and a few of the second edition, published in altered circumstances in 1825. A Franciscan, Del Giudice writes a compendium on the theory of the human mind for students. His account tackles contemporary philosophies, such as materialism, in ample footnotes, which include detailed responses to many thinkers of the Enlightenment, such as Bayle and Holbach.
