The Correspondence Between Princess Elisabeth of Bohemia and Rene Descartes

Between the years 1643 and 1649, Princess Elisabeth of Bohemia (1618-80) and Rene Descartes (1596-1650) exchanged fifty-eight letters - thirty-two from Descartes and twenty-six from Elisabeth. These letters are suitable for those interested in Descartes' philosophy, in particular his account of the human being as a union of mind and body.
