The "Epigrammes choisies de Martial avec un très-petit nombre de quelques autres auteurs," in two books, containing XCVIII and LXX epigrams (p. 80-463) are preceded by "De vera pulchritudine" (p. [4]-79) from Pierre Nicole's "Dissertatio de vera pulchritudine" in the "Epigrammatum delectus ..." Paris, 1659, with a French version entitled "De la beauté des ouvrages d'esprit." The latter is probably from Pierre Richelet's translation in Recueil des belles epigrammes des poëtes françois," Paris, 1698. cf. Pref., p. xxiii; Niceron, Memoirs, Paris,. 1734, v. 29, p. 296-297.
