More of the Same? D’Holbach and the Temptation of Self-Quotation by Ruggero Sciuto

“…Politically and philosophically an extremely radical author, d’Holbach took all possible measures to conceal his authorship of his texts, publishing them all either anonymously or pseudonymously. Very few people in the eighteenth century knew about his authorship of his works, and even today the contours of his textual corpus are regrettably indistinct. …”
