Jean Maximilien Lucas

Jean-Maximilien Lucas (died 1697) was a French bookseller and publisher, resident in the Netherlands from around 1667.

[1] Lucas was born in Rouen at an uncertain date, 1636 or 1646.

Internal evidence shows it was a production of the period immediately after Spinoza's death.

Pierre Bayle drew on it, in manuscript, access being provided by Jan Rieuwertsz junior.

[1][2] Lucas also was involved in production of clandestine journals in French, directed against Louis XIV.
