First sentence: Until 1710, with the publication of his book-length Essais de theodicee, the ideas of the German philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716) were publicly available only through his articles in learned journals such as the Latin-language Acta eruditorum (Leipzig, from 1682) and the French-language Journal des savants (Paris, from 1666), Nouvelles de la Republique des lettres (Amsterdam, from 1684), Histoire des ouvrages des savants (Rotterdam, from 1687), and Memoires pour l'histoire des sciences et des beaux arts (Trevoux, from 1701).
