Operas and 1 ballet, with texts by by P. Quinault, T. Corneille, B. Le B. Fontenelle, I. de Benserade; music by Jean Baptiste Lully.

Each libretto has separate title page, pagination, and signatures. The imprints are mostly Paris, only one with printer statement (Christophe Ballard), and Lyon (Thomas Amaulry), and the publication dates range from 1682-1691.

Most of the librettos have an added engraved title page.
