In 1628, Kepler had written that his adversary, Robert Fludd , had entered into a debate also with the Frenchman, Marin Mersenne (1588–1648), who had attacked him. In 1623, between the German and the Englishman, Mersenne had taken side with the first in his Questiones … in Genesim … [Investigations … on Genesis …], "holding tight to my hair" (that of the astronomer).
