The text is actually that of Récréations mathématiques, part 1 of which was first published (Pont-à-Mousson, 1624) with title: Récrétion mathématique.  The dedication was signed: H. van Etten, long thought to be a pseudonym of Jean Leurechon, but now believed to have been a real person.  Authorship of parts 2 & 3 is unknown. Cf. Trevor H. Hall, Mathematicall recreations: an exercise in seventeenth-century bibliography (Leeds, 1969).  Mydorge's "Examen" is of part I only, and follows each "probleme" in italics.
