Notes: B.L., citing a 10th edition printed in Lille, [1820 ?] gives note on the 'M...' of the title-page: '[i.e. Jean Castilhon]; NUC makes reference from title to Gomez, Madeleine Angèlique (Poisson de) (1684-1770), as the author, but does not cite the undatedPercy 'seconde edition' printed in Bruxelles; nor have I found this work listed among her numerous writings; Nisard cites two copies: an undated Pellerin edition and one of Paris, 1848; he also attributes the work to Mme de Gomez ... 'Cette dame avait del'esprit. De sa plume, plus fécond que correcte, sortirent un grand nombre de productions galants, et même des tragédies ... '.

The Biog. Univ. recounts of Jean Castilhou that he published his works anonymously; his 'Bibliothèque bleue, entièrement refondue et augmentée' was printed in Paris, in 4 vols. in 1770, and the 'Histoire de Jean de Calais' was included in it, along with 'Richard sans Peur', Robert le Diable', etc. All these romances were published separately in 1770 and 1775 in-8o. Brunet lists under title.
