"Oeuvres d'André de Bourdeilles" omitted in this edition.  As published for the first time, joined to the works of Brantôme,  La Haye, 1740, they included "Maximes de la guerre" and "Lettres", his official routine correspondence as sénéchal de Périgord; republished 1823, and 1838

The "Maximes de la guerre" had been published 1611 under the name of Armand Gontault de Biron, authorship undisputed; how they came to be published 1740 with other documents from the Bourdeille family archives under the name of André de Bourdeille has never been explained.  cf. Publisher's note, t. 13 (1895) p. 89-90; also Journal de Trévoux, déc. 1765, p. 1402-1413; and Le Long, Biblioth. hist., t. 3, nos. 32098, 32101, 32122; t. 4, p. 464, note to no. 32123
