Contains, at pp. 159-90, Gaullieur’s own essay ‘Les deux Avenches: histoire de la polémique soulevée au commencement du XVIIIe siècle sur l’emplacement de l’antique cité d’Aventicum’, reprinted from ‘Revue Suisse,’ 13 (September 1850), pp. 583-604. The ‘Deux Avenches’ controversy, initiated by the Jesuit Pierre-Joseph Dunod (see Bib# 5654540/Fr# 273.9 in this collection for a reprint of the first 1697 edition of his ‘La découverte de la ville d’Antre’), revolved around the true location of the ancient town of ‘Aventicum.’ Gaullieur also touches on the story of Julia Alpinula, a humanist hoax based on a fabricated epitaph by Paulus Merula. See A. Freeman, Julia Alpinula, pseudo-Heroine of Helvetia. How a Forged Renaissance Epitaph Fostered a National Myth. London, 2015, p. 11, note 20.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:11.5pt;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://catalyst.library.jhu.edu/permalink/01JHU_INST/1lu78g9/alma991042156229707861" rel="ugc nofollow">Click here to view the Johns Hopkins University catalog record.</a></span></span></p>
