Charles de Margotelle de Saint-Denys, Seigneur de Saint-Evremond, 1610-1703, never authorized the printing of his works during his lifetime; the first printing was an unauthorized edition
published by Barbin in 1668. Saint-Evremond had authorized Des Maizeaux to publish his works after his death and the first
authorized edition was printed by Tonson in London in 1705.
Pierre Des Maizeaux, 1672-1745, published the works of St. Evremond, and added a life of the author, which he also published separately.
