Prima edizione francese non comune di questa celebre polemica antipapale di Gregorio Leti nella quale si ridicolizza l’usanza papale del nepotismo. Figlio di un noble di origine bolognese e di una nobildonna milanese, Gregorio Leti nacque a Milano nel 1630. Dopo aver studiato presso i gesuiti, alla morte del padre, si trasferì a Roma nel 1644 da uno zio. Dopo vari sposatmenti che lo portarono anche a Orvieto nel 1655 seguì lo zio ad Acquapendente dove il parente era assunto a Vescovo. Nel 1660 lascia l’italia per Ginevra e in seguito al matrimonio con la figlia di un medico ginevrino si converte al calvinismo. Da questo momento in poi iniziano i suoi scritti polemici e satirici verso i papi. Il linguaggio e le immagini che Leti riproduceva nei suoi scritti erano assai licenziose tanto che fu costretto dalle autorità cittadine di Ginevra ad abbandonare la Svizzera. Raggiunse Colbert a Parigi e questi gli propose di ricoprire la carica di “Historico di Lingua Italiana” di Luigi XIV ma decise di rifiutare la proposta perchè non voleva riconvertirsi al cristianesimo. Passò quindi in Inghilterra, siamo nel 1680. Ma anche qui la sua verve polemica e difficile ai compromessi lo portò a scontrarsi con il mondo politico inglese e fu di nuovo costretto alla fuga che lo portò in Olanda. Qui stretta amicizia con Pierre Bayle rimase fino alla morte avvenuta ad Amsterdam nel 1701. Prima edizione francese in buone condizioni di conservazione. Due soli esemplari censiti in ICCU.

His books (usually written under the pseudonym Barry Gray) were extremely popular through the Civil War era, but were quickly forgotten. His humor and observations seemed to lack the bite and originality that made for long-term loyalty and reputation. This particular work, however, contains some entertaining observations on the practice and content of popular publishing in the era.
