Jacques Le Long (Bibliothèque historique de la France. Paris, 1768, vol. 2, p. 687) attributes the work to the Benedictine father Labadie and points to abbé Prévost as its editor. The imprint of the work is fictious; it is actually printed in Rouen. Cf. E. Weller. Die falschen und fingirten Druckorte. Leipzig, 1864, vol. 2, p. 88. See also W. Laird Clowes &amp; H.
