Van Roosbroeck, Gustave L. "The birthdate of Puget de la Serre," in Modern language notes, v. 36, no. 7 (November 1921), pages 440-441, via JSTOR, October 31, 2019 (Jean Puget de la Serre, "historiographe de France"; his Tombeau des délices du monde contains a passage that "allows us to fix with precision Puget de la Serre's birthdate, which is erroneously given as 1600 in biographical works"; the 2 earliest "state that he was born about 1600. Later compilers give his birthdate as exactly 1600"; Puget de la Serre states here "Il y a tantost trente sept ans que je suis au monde"; since the Privilège is dated July 16, 1630, "Puget de la Serre must have written these words during the first six months of 1630. His birthdate can, therefore, be fixed in the year 1593")

Electronic mail from Véronique Meyer, October 21, 2019 (the date "1595" in title of her article "Un auteur du XVIIe siècle et l'illustration de ses livres" is incorrect; correct birth year is 1594, as in text of the article)
