Quérard, Les supercheries littéraires dévoilées; seconde édition, considérablement augmentée, publiée par MM. Gustave Brunet et Pierre Jannet. Paris, 1870, III, c. 268, admiring the production of this ‘édition deluxe’, limited to 160 copies. Delmotte (1798-1836), Chalon’s great influence both for historical studies and canulars, is credited by Chalon’s once-loyal printer Emmanuel Hoyois as the true conceiver of the Fortsas Bibliohoax.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:11.5pt;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:11.5pt;">See W.
