Read the full account

The 1667 one-off Imposteur performance and its re-ban are the dated middle Tartuffe instrument. Molière’s documented role is: He staged a revised Tartuffe while the ban still sat. The first president’s ban is the state’s act; he is the banned author-player. Later editors, printers, and excavators remain named where they appear. Molière's documented role is: He staged a revised Tartuffe while the ban still sat.

Context

Palais-Royal, Louis XIV campaigning in Flanders as later told. Parlement and dévots remain the police weather. Named others on the file: Lamoignon as received banning magistrate; the troupe as players. The public setting is the file around 1667-08-05. The instrument stays A 1667 Palais-Royal Tartuffe (L’Imposteur / Panulphe) is played then immediately re-banned, a distinct instrument from 1664 Versailles and 1669 authorisation. The setting of A 1667 Palais-Royal Tartuffe (L’Imposteur / Panulphe) is played then immediately re-banned, a distinct instrument from 1664 Versailles and 1669 authorisation is the public file around 1667-08-05. Driver democratic-resilience is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

Why it matters

Speech ban. Welfare reading worsening. Lag to any modern indicator is not treated as zero. This path is attached because the mechanism is named from this act, not because a driver list needed coverage. The welfare reading on this path is worsening.

What the sources establish

Three dates.

Britannica’s Tartuffe and Molière articles independently record a 1667 interrupted attempt between 1664 and 1669. Official: Britannica — Tartuffe (https://www.britannica.com/topic/Tartuffe (opens in a new tab); Encyclopaedia Britannica). Independent: Britannica — Molière (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Moliere-French-dramatist (opens in a new tab); Encyclopaedia Britannica). The two URLs are different pages. Where the carrier is a later edition or a received narrative, that limit is stated rather than upgraded to an autograph. Official carrier: Britannica — Tartuffe (https://www.britannica.com/topic/Tartuffe (opens in a new tab); Encyclopaedia Britannica). Independent carrier: Britannica — Molière (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Moliere-French-dramatist (opens in a new tab); Encyclopaedia Britannica).

Medium confidence on the exact revised title page. Established: a sourced public record of A 1667 Palais-Royal Tartuffe (L’Imposteur / Panulphe) is played then immediately re-banned, a distinct instrument from 1664 Versailles and 1669 authorisation under 1667-08-05.

Confidence is stated on the impact path, not hidden in adjectives. Three dates. Mixed effects of A 1667 Palais-Royal Tartuffe (L’Imposteur / Panulphe) is played then immediately re-banned, a distinct instrument from 1664 Versailles and 1669 authorisation are separate paths.

Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, museums, and adaptations are not converted into extra lifetime acts.

That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.

Shared responsibility is part of A 1667 Palais-Royal Tartuffe (L’Imposteur / Panulphe) is played then immediately re-banned, a distinct instrument from 1664 Versailles and 1669 authorisation. Naming Molière does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1667-08-05 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.
