It is also noteworthy that this translation was produced when the ''Seven Sages / Book of Sinbad'' was in particular vogue in France: Petis de la Croix produced his edition of the ''Forty Viziers'' just two years earlier, and three years before that, Galland's translation of the ''One Thousand and One Nights'' had enormous success ([[Pedrol Aguilà (2020)\|Pedrol Aguilà (2020)).]]
