Abstract
The article proposes the contextualization of Gabriel Naudé as a librarian and thinker in his time, the century of absolutist development in France, and in an environment, that of French scholarly libertinism and libraries in the process of modernization. We consider that a contextualization of the activities of Naudé as a librarian and intellectual can help in a greater understanding of his bibliographic production. To achieve this, we have developed a brief analysis of the treaty Advis pour dresser une bibliothèque (1627), ando f his Bibliographia Politica (1633), characterized by the inauguration of the term bibliography and, at the same time, because it represents a specific typology of bibliography, the so-called literary history. Our path considered the reading of the sources as a starting point for the understanding of the texts, supported by a review of the bibliography.
