Publications

1747 sees the publication of the book Recueil de fables nouvelles, précédées d'un discours sur ce genre de poésie[4] After Esprit-Jean de Rome d'Ardène died in 1748, his brother, father Jean-Paul de Rome d'Ardène, gathered his various writings in order to compile and publish them. A few years later, in 1767, a Marseille editor, Jean Mossy, published the Œuvres posthumes de Monsieur d'Ardene, associé a l'académie des Belles-Lettres de Marseille in four volumes[5]

gollark: Anyway, Rust is very robust and cargo is great, but I also take ages to write anything good in it and everything has something like 250 dependencies.
