Hello. How does one translate the title of the following book written by Leibniz: 'Animadversiones ad Cartesii principia philosophiae?' Is there on Google more information about this book in an European language?
Thank you in advance.

The book appears to be generally referred to under its Latin name, which translates into something like "Reflections on Descartes' Principles of philosophy".
