Libertinism in France starts with precursor François Villon and comes to fruition with Théophile de Viau and Lucilio Vanini.
In the early 17th century, two Jesuit priests, Marin Mersenne and François Garasse start French censorship and French religious suppression.
Most frequently cited is Mersenne's estimate (from Quaestiones celeberrimae in Genesim, 1623) that Paris counted 50,000 atheists or libertines. At a time when the total population of Paris was about 300,000, this is an astonishing one out of six Parisians.
And Garasse's definition of a libertine is also frequently cited (see inset).
