The Journal of learned men, later Journal des Savants, is the oldest literary and scientific periodical of Europe. The first edition appeared in Paris on January 5 1665 as a twelve-page newsletter announcing its goal of bringing "what's happening again in the Republic of Letters" Content In the first issue the warning, it was stated that this was to account for major works appearing in Europe, publishing obituaries on famous people, to learn about new discoveries in the arts and sciences, including physics and chemistry , inventions mechanical and mathematical , the celestial observations and weather and discoveries anatomical , to review decisions legal secular courts, church and university, and finally to report anything that was likely to interest men of letters or "learned men", ie all educated people. Among the ten articles published in this issue, we read a report on the birth of a monster at Oxford , a note on new telescopes Giuseppe Campani , a commentary on the new edition of the Treaty of Descartes , Human and an account of recent publications on the history of the Church in Africa. If its content is in large part to the Gazette rather than the literary journal, the Journal of learned men nevertheless played a significant role in the dissemination of scientific knowledge by enabling communication between scholars. The number of articles on science, often illustrated with woodcuts, grew over the years. Journal readers also were they the first to be informed of the release of micrograph of Robert Hooke , the development of the first ship double hull by William Petty , the invention of the balance arithmetic Cassini , the Use what did Robert Holmes of clocks of Huygens on board of the Reserve, or experiments conducted by Ole Roemer in determining the speed of light. The first issue of the Journal of learned men immediately aroused the interest of members of the Royal Society of London. Just three months later, March 6, 1665, a newspaper similar, but more specifically devoted to new observations and scientific experiments, was launched by Henry Oldenburg as the Philosophical Transactions. This journal, whose publication has never been interrupted, was the model for all subsequent scientific journals in Europe. He was soon followed in Italy by the Giornale de 'letterati in 1668 , then in Germany by Acta eruditorum Lipsiensium Otto Mencke in 1682. In the provinces, the Journal of learned men was forged and therefore had a slightly different pagination. In Lyon , the second printing and intellectual center of the Kingdom after Paris, the printer Thomas Amaury brought out a counterfeit version of this publication, to the delight of local scholars. Founded under the patronage of Colbert by Denis de Sallo , adviser to Parliament, The Journal of learned men was led successively by Father Welsh (1666-1674), Father Jean-Paul de La Roque (1674-1687) supported by the Rev Cureau House and Louis Cousin (1687-1701). Weekly illegally until 1723, he appeared monthly until 1792, when it was removed. During this period, several parallel editions, including one in Latin, and many fakes were published in Brussels , Amsterdam and Cologne. Restored and renamed the Journal of scholars in 1816, when he was then drafted by members of the Institute of France and printed at the Imprimerie Nationale , with directors Pierre-Claude-Francois Daunou (1816-1838), Pierre-Antoine Lebrun (1838-1872), Charles Giraud (1873-1881) and Leopold Delisle (1896-1907). From 1908, the publication of the Journal of the scholars was entrusted to the Academy of Inscriptions and Belles-lettres. Log scholars is now run by Jean Marcad and Philippe Contamine and appears twice a year . History
