Second edition revised and corrected by the Author for the years 1684-1686, then original edition. Ambitious journal created by Bayle who directed it from 1684 to 1687. Daniel de Larroque and Jean Barrin succeeded him until April 1689 when the publication was stopped until the Calvinist pastor Jacques Bernard took it over until 1718. Bayle and his successors offered the literate public of Europe a journal of reviews of works of literature, history, theology, science, medicine, philosophy, etc. Its eclecticism allowed it to cover the widest possible field of editorial production in French, but also in Latin, English and even Spanish and Italian. Printed in Amsterdam, this publication thus escaped censorship and allowed its authors to deal freely with religious issues, the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in October 1685 having strained relations between Catholics and Protestants. An exceptional publication for the knowledge of the intellectual movement at the end of the Grand Siècle.
