I’m preparing a character for a 7th Sea game set in more or less real Europe, 1669 (France specifically). Here’s a list of references(mostly 17th Century thinkers), from Britannica.com:
Benedict De Spinoza, Rene Descartes,
Robert Boyle,
Thomas Hobbes, Blaise Pascal, Christina queen of Sweden, Christiaan Huygens, Gottfried Wilhelm
Leibniz and the unavoidable Sir Issac Newton.
Oh, and Jean-Baptiste Colbert should be worth looking at.
