Journal de Trévoux

The Journal de Trévoux (French pronunciation: [ʒuʁnal də tʁevu]), formally the Mémoires pour l'Histoire des Sciences & des beaux-Arts (French pronunciation: [memwaʁ puʁ listwaʁ de sjɑ̃s e de boz‿aʁ]), but often called the Mémoires de Trévoux (French pronunciation: [memwaʁ də tʁevu]), was an influential academic journal that appeared monthly in France between January 1701 and December 1782. The journal published critical reviews of contemporary books and papers on a broad range of subjects, mostly non-fiction. Its editors and most of the authors were members of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits), although they played down their connection with the order. However, when it came to questions of religion, morality or politics they did not attempt to remain neutral.
