Abstract
1) Lennon's text (p. 338): text that Bayle and Mori take to be Saint-Evremond's is in fact from Jean-Franqois Sarasin. While it is not certain that Bayle and I erroneously take this text to be Saint-Evremond's, it is certain that Lennon takes it to be Sarasin's. In fact, the text quoted by Bayle is not taken from Sarasin's sur Epicure, but, as Bayle explicitly points out (X6nophanes, K, note 124), from a des ennuis et des d6plaisirs. This Discours is chapter 5 of De l'usage de la vie, a text published in many editions of Saint-Evremond's works (see the Barbin 1692 in-40 ed., Seconde Partie, p. 326). The paternity of De l'usage de la vie is doubtful and controversial, but it possibly contains some passages taken from Saint-Evremond's unpublished manuscripts, especially in chapters 3-6, as reported by an important source quoted by Ternois in SaintEvremond, (Euvres en prose, IV, 3-4, note 1.
