Biography

Having found a way to get away with her, in order to make a living, he published satirical dialogues about the time topics, in which Bayle found "infinite wit and reading." The prose is clear, incisive, and frequently cut with verses which are not without merit.

Le Noble's complete works were published in Paris, 1718, 20 vol. in-12. Le Gage touché, Ildegerte, reyne de Norvège, Zulima and La Fausse Comtesse d’Isamberg have been reprinted by Шаблон:Interlanguage link multi in 1980.
