Fenelon published "Maxims of the Saints on the Interior Life." Bossuet wrote on "The States of Prayer." These were the rival books in a controversy about what was called "Quietism." Bossuet afterwards wrote a "Relation sur le Quietisme," of which Fenelon's copy, charged with his own marginal comments, is in the British Museum.
His work was translated into French and appeared in a Recueil de pieces sur le Quietisme, published in Amsterdam 1688. Molinos has been considered the leader and founder of the Quietism of the seventeenth century.
