I should like to reread some of the philosophy [of the Jesuits], which I have not done for twenty years, to see if it looks any better now than it did previously. In this respect, I ask that you send me the names of authors who have written textbooks [cours] of philosophy, and to tell me which are the most commonly used, and whether there have been any new ones in the last twenty years. I remember only some of the Conimbricenses, Toletus, and Rubius. I would also like to know whether anyone has made an abridgement of the whole of Scholastic philosophy, as this would save the time it would take to read their huge volumes. I think there was a Carthusian or a Feuillant who made an abridgement of this kind, but I don't remember his name.
