The author left it in manuscript and it is his friend and executor, Lallemand who took four years to organize the notes and perfect the edition. For each character in the dictionary, there is a biography, a review of his works, a bibliography and anecdotes. The book is full of rare and interesting information about forgotten writers or scholars of all ages, including the Middle Ages.
