FRANÇOIS VINCENT TOUSSAINT

LES MŒURS – THE MANNERS – DIE SITTEN
BIBLIOGRAPHY

Back in 2004 this was an account to give a complete bibliography of the existing editions of Les Mœurs by Panage (i.e. François Vincent Toussaint), first published in 1748. It wasn’t finished when I left it. Now, in 2020, I know it will never be finished. At least done by me. So if you ever attempt to create a better version please feel free to use everything on this page.

I’ve collected editions mentioned in…

1. printed bibliographies
2. libraries
3. private collections
