The proposed research aims to explore the lives, works, intellectual and political connections of a small group of exiles who fled Louis XIV's France for Holland during the first decade of the eighteenth century. The four exiles in question - Prosper Marchand, Charles Levier, Bernard Picart, and Jean De Bey - left France between 1709 and 1710; their reasons for fleeing still remain, to some degree, unclear. Following their arrival in Holland, in late 1710 all four were present at a meeting (and named as members) of a society which went by the name of the "Chevaliers de la Jubilation". The exact nature of the Chevaliers remains open to question - explanations have ranged from freemasonry to libertine rowdiness. In the months following this initial meeting some members of the Chevaliers are recorded meeting up as part of another group with the title of the Vénérable Corps hermétique. The following year a Société would form containing members from both of the earlier groups and from which the Journal litéraire would emerge - its first edition appearing in 1713. Alongside their connections within the Republic of Letters, members of the group also had connections to important political figures such as Prince Eugène de Savoie, Baron Hohendorf, leaders and administrators of the States General, and (via men such as John Toland) politicians in England - the nature of many of these connections is, once again, unclear at present. Via a detailed exploration and consideration of these four figures (and their intimates) the proposed research will address not only issues directly connected to the group, but also important broader questions concerning the ideological constitution and motivations of individuals who left France as part of this second wave of "Huguenots" to seek exile in Holland; the methods used, and the difficulties faced, by would-be lettrés in establishing themselves in the Republic of Letters; the role and contributions of private intellectual meeting groups within the Republic of Letters; and also the opaque transnational political manoeuvrings which occurred during the latter years of the War of the Spanish Succession

拟议中的研究旨在探索生活，作品，知识和政治联系的一小群流亡者谁逃离路易十四的法国荷兰在第一个十年的十八世纪。这四位流亡者--普罗维登·马尚、查尔斯·莱维耶、伯纳德·皮卡尔和让·德·贝--在1709年至1710年之间离开了法国;他们逃亡的原因在某种程度上仍然不清楚。在他们抵达荷兰后，在1710年底，所有四个人都出席了一个会议（并命名为成员）的一个社会的名称去了“骑士德拉喜庆”。骑士团的确切性质仍然有待商榷--解释从自由散漫到放荡粗暴不等。在第一次会议之后的几个月里，骑士团的一些成员被记录为另一个团体的一部分，该团体的名称是Vénérable Corps Hermétique。第二年，一个学会将形成包含成员从这两个较早的团体，并从其中杂志文学将出现-其第一版出现在1713年。除了在文学共和国内部的联系外，该组织的成员还与重要的政治人物有联系，如欧仁·德·萨瓦亲王、霍亨多夫男爵、议会的领导人和行政人员，以及（通过约翰·托兰等人）英格兰的政治家-其中许多联系的性质目前仍然不清楚。通过对这四个数字的详细探讨和思考，（和他们的密友）拟议的研究将不仅解决与该集团直接相关的问题，而且还解决有关意识形态构成和个人动机的重要更广泛的问题，这些人作为第二波“胡格诺派”的一部分离开法国寻求流亡荷兰;所使用的方法，以及所面临的困难，由准lettrés在建立自己的共和国的信件;的作用和贡献的私人知识分子会议集团在共和国的信件;以及西班牙王位继承战争后期不透明的跨国政治活动
