This journal is one of the two oldest scholarly journals in the modern
sense.
It was begun a few months before the institution of the
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London
in 1665.
The Journal des Sçavans has a somewhat complex
publication history.
It was begun by Jean-Denis de Sallo (1626-1669) under the
pseudonym, le Sieur de Hedouville, and ran from its first number in
1665, January 5 to the thirteenth number in 1665, March 30, when it was
suppressed by the establishment.
It resumed publication on 1666, January 4 under the editorship of
le Sr. G. P. (that is, abbé Jean Galloys) for the
years 1666-1674,
then by abbée La Roque for 1674-1687,
by Louis Cousin for 1687-1701, and a long sequence of other
editors.
It ceased publication in 1792 as a result of the French Revolution, and
did not resume regular publication until 1816, under the name
Journal des Savants under the auspices of the
Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres of the
Institut de France.
