Probably a 17th-c. French ed. of the famous treatise on immortality (1st Bologna 1516) by the Italian philosopher P. Pomponazzi (1462-1524), backdated to foil the censor. “His doctrines on immortality, first set forth in "De immortalitate", occasioned cries of outrage from prominent philosophers and theologians and produced the immortality controversy, one of the most important debates prior to the Reformation” (DSB XI 74).
