= Willems 644; Caillet 9918; Houzeau/ Lancaster 5181; Poggendorff II, p.742. "Un jour que Saumaise se trouvait en visite chez l'ambassadeur de France à La Haye, la conversation tomba sur l'action supposée ou réelle qu'exerce sur la vie de l'homme l'année climatérique. On entendait par climatérique chaque septième, ou suivant d'autres chaque neuvième année de la vie, parce que cette période était jugée nécessaire pour le renouvellement intégral de toutes les parties du corps. (...). Saumaise disserta longuement sur ce sujet. L'ambassadeur, qui était alors Coignet de la Thuilerie, le convia à mettre son opinion par écrit, et c'est à cette invitation que nous devons le gros volume édité par les Elzevier. Non content de prouver, à grand renfort d'érudition, l'inanité des spéculations climatériques, Saumaise étendit ses recherches aux influences planétaires qui font l'objet de l'astrologie; en sorte qu'il aurait pu tout aussi bien intituler son livre: du rôle assigné aux causes occultes dans les choses humaines. Il s'attache à démontrer que ces influences sont nulles, que l'état sanitaire, chez les nations et chez les individus, est réglé par des lois naturelles; qu'il tient à l'air, au climat, à la constitution, au régime, et nullement aux astres; vérités devenues banales aujourd'hui à force d'avoir été rebattues, mais qui ne l'étaitent pas de ce temps-là, et que bien des gens, même parmi les doctes, se refusaient à reconnaître.
