Noel Antoine Pluche (1688-1761) was director of the College of Reims until suspected of opposition to the papal bull 'Unigenitus' (1713) when he was obliged to resign. He wrote the enormously popular Le spectacle de la nature (1732) and is widely known as a popularizer of science.

In the Histoire Pluche restated his opposition to the cosmologies proposed by the physicists. He also attempted to demonstrate that monotheism preceded polytheism. This book is a curious and fascinating study of mythology, symbol, and the occult.
