<p>ABSTRACT:</p><p> Immediately after Spinozaâs death in 1677 his first biographers framed a life which would play an important part in the eighteenth-century perception of the Dutch philosopher. Bayleâs entry on Spinoza in the <i>Dictionnaire</i> in particular, together with Jellesâs preface to the <i>Opera posthuma</i>, created the image of a philosopher whose dedication to philosophy was unconditional and whose moral behavior was impeccable. Despite the general hostility which Spinozaâs views continued to meet, his life appears to have contributed considerably to the gradual rediscovery of his works during the dying decades of the eighteenth century, most notably in Germany and the Netherlands. </p>
