Molière, after the Mélicerte (December 2, 1666)…

Molière, after the Mélicerte (December 2, 1666) and the Pastorale comique (January 5, 1667), had tried again to perform a revised Tartuffe in 1667, this time with the name of Panulphe ou L'Imposteur.

As soon as the King leaves Paris for a tour, Lamoignon and the archbishop ban the play. (The King will finally impose respect for Tartuffe a few years later, after he gains more power over the clergy.)

Molière, now ill, writes less.

Le Sicilien ou L'Amour peintre is written for festivities at the castle of Saint-Germain.
