Abstract
In view of my concerns throughout my academic career in the history of skepticism, I was naturally interested in Stäudlin’s History and Spirit of Skepticism (Geschichte and Geist des Skepticismus) as soon as I learned that the work existed. Fortunately when I started doing my research in Europe in 1952 I met a Paris book dealer who had an incredible stock of relevant texts in the history of philosophy including a very nice copy of Stäudlin, which he sold to me.
