In this poem, containing nine books of 1000 verses each, Polignac (1661-1742) refuted the ancient materialism of Lucretius and Epicurus, and that of his contemporary P. Bayle, and demonstrated the existence of God, the supernatural world, and the immortality of the soul. - Brunet IV, 777; Graesse V, 388; Quérard VII, 249.€ 120
