Final Jeopardy Explanation
Trained as a priest and a physician, François Rabelais published his first novel in 1532 under the pen name Alcofribas Nasier, an anagram of his real name.

Rabelais’ work is renowned for its rich use of Renaissance French and its satirical, bawdy humor, along with a deep humanist philosophy.
