Notes: The Lettres d'amour d'une religieuse portugaise consist of 12 fictitious letters supposedly addressed to Noël Bouton, marquis de Chamilly.

First published under title: Lettres portugaises.

Nos. 1-5 were originally published anonymously (1669) and later attributed to Mariana Alcoforado, until the 1926 discovery of the original royal privilege, in which Guilleragues was named as the author, rather than the translator, of the 12 letters. Cf. Encyclopaedia Britannica (1972 ed.), v. 1, p. 540.

Includes: Réponces du chevalier de C. aux lettres d'amour d'une religieuse en Portugal. Nouvelle edition.

The Réponces were first published in the 1682 edition. Cf. Biographie universelle, v. 1, p. 362; and Lettres françaises, 17. s., v. 2, p. 619-620. This edition is evidently the first to include the love letters of Anne de Bellinzani Ferrand ("la Presidente F."). Cf. Biographie universelle.
