In the 17thcentury, travellers described what they saw during their travels, but they also took careful note of what they spent or earned. In this sense, the "journal" is more a statement of account than a literary object. After tracing Melchisédech Thévenot's impressive collection of handwritten notebooks - a collection of curiosities, texts and foreign objects - and studying the use of the notebooks intended for publication by his nephew Jean Thévenot, the author focuses on the remarkable case of Accarette, who transformed his notebook into a calligram.
