He attacked Molière, publishing a satirical comedy, Les Véritables Précieuses (1660), and two works entitled Le Grand Dictionnaire des précieuses (1660, 1661), containing lists of their new expressions, remarks on their customs, and anecdotal portraits, not entirely reliable, of several hundred women.
