Abbé Cotin is an essential figure of 17th-century literary salons, and Molière caricatured him as Abbé Trissotin in "Les femmes savantes". He invented a game for these same salons, the riddle poem of which "Les énigmes de ce temps, et les bouts rimez" are testimony. He was the fashionable poet of this era, eagerly supplying gallant and light poetry of which "L'uranie" dedicated to Marguerite de Rohan is a model. The works also contain "Les épigrammes", "Les amours du jour et de la nuit", various prose pieces, notes and other letters, all bearing the seal of gallantry, light libertinage and good-natured humor.

He restored Brossette's commentaries, and gathered the various notes from previous editions. Saint-Marc's notes and commentaries constitute a large part of the work and accompany the text very intelligently, without vain erudition.
