- Abstract
At the end of the 1680s, the first "mercures de Hollande" are published in Leyde, and then in The Hague and Amsterdam. This new kind of periodical, exclusively devoted to European political information, then gives birth to the first French-language political journal of analysis and opinion. While this singular production is only published in Holland until the 1720s, from that date forward, the main European capitals each have their own French "mercure." While trying to understand how this new political journalism spread throughout Europe, this article seeks to interpret the mutations undergone by this model in its different European versions. It also seeks to question the political scope of the press in Enlightened Europe, from the end of the seventeenth century to the 1770s.
