As stated before, Spinoza himself changed his name from "Baruch" into "Benedictus". In the "Age of Enlightenment" page on Wikipedia he is listed under "Important figures of the Enlightenment era" as "Benedict Spinoza". In the text he is referenced as "Baruch (Benedictus de) Spinoza". A search on Amazon for books on Spinoza shows either his surname (Spinoza) or as "Benedict de Spinoza" or "Benedictus de Spinoza". In publications he is consistently referenced. Always with the name he choose for his publications. The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy uses the name "Benedict de Spinoza". As far as I can tell Wikipedia is the only source
