About This Item
1697 LOTTERY 1ed History of Lotteries Leti Mathematics Philosophy Holland BANNED
Gregorio Leti was a notable 17th-century Italian historian who is known for having each of his published works placed on the 'Prohibited Books Index'. Leti's final work was 'Critique on Lotteries', a work discussing the history and popularities of public lotteries, especially those in Holland. Leti discusses how the lotteries created a world of greed and false hope, as well as made the social classes even more separate. However, it doesn't seem that Leti wrote this book to denounce the lottery; in fact, he wrote of his observations of the lotteries themselves and people's behaviors.
