Cadrer le débat Le face-à-face entre Bossuet et Claude, de la Conférence à sa publication (1678-1683)

This article explores the paratext of the Conference which took place in March 1678 between Bossuet and Jean Claude. It shows how, thanks to the multistep publication of the Conference text, the debate between those two theologians goes on, on both sides, through manuscript and printed texts written after the event. The analysis of those texts reveals the emergence of new stakes, other than those of the Conference itself.
