Abstract
Having launched his onslaught on Louis XIV, in L’Esprit des cours de l’Europe, Gueudeville soon found a wonderful opportunity to increase the intensity by using archbishop Fénelon’s latest publication as a vehicle for his attack on absolute monarchy. As soon as the Suite du quatrième livre de l’Odyssée d’Homère ou les Avantures de Tèlèmaque fils d’Ulysse began to appear in Paris, in April 1699, it was banned by the authorities. This measure had the usual effect of drawing attention to the work which was then brought out in France in a number of clandestine editions, and in The Netherlands by Adrian Moetjens of The Hague.1
