# The Académie des sciences is founded in 1666 under royal patronage as a dated public-research office, complex with Colbert

Date: 1666

## The fact

In 1666 the Académie des sciences was founded under Louis XIV's patronage, organised with Colbert. The instrument is that dated academy, not later prize committees as his act. Louis XIV of France's documented role is: He paid and authorised. Colbert organised. Academicians wrote. He did not typeset later Mémoires as autograph science.

## Context

Colbert is the named organiser. Sharing academicians is required. The Observatoire is a neighbouring 1667 row. The setting of The Académie des sciences is founded in 1666 under royal patronage as a dated public-research office, complex with Colbert is the public file around 1666-01-01. Shared offices, unnamed crews, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. Driver edu-[digital-learning-access](/drivers/edu-digital-learning-access) is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.
