There is a Rabelais who wields the false, and there are false images of Rabelais. Alcofribas plays with his reader. We find this game in the anonymous Disciple de Pantagruel.

In the nineteenth century, counterfeiters fill the gaps of a life that is not well known by investing the author with increased seriousness.
