Освобождённый Иерусалим
Le Clerc is best known for his translation of "Jerusalem Delivered" by Torquato Tasso, but his work was attacked by Nicolas Boileau and suffered from a generally unfavourable reputation. Jean Chapelain wrote of him "He wrote reasonably in French prose and not without wit. In prose, he is well above the mediocre, whether in original creation, or in translation".
