- Summary
- Manuscript, in ink, in an unidentified 18th-century hand.
- Title from caption titles of the three sections, comprising respectively p. [1]-55; p. 61-229; and p. 231-[484]. First word of title excised; supplied from: Cat. des livres de la bibliothèque de feue madame la marquise de Pompadour. In the first caption, the words "anecdotes du regne de Childeric" are in another hand; preceding "de Childeric," the words "de Meroüée &" are lined through.
- The work is actually not a version of Zeneyde, by Anthony Hamilton (first published in his Œuvres mêlées en prose et en vers, 1731), but a copy of Anecdotes de la cour de Childeric, roi de France (Paris : Prault père, 1736). The latter work, published anonymously, was formerly ascribed to Hamilton, but is now known to be by Marguerite de Lussan. Cf. Barbier, A.A. Ouvrages anonymes, I, col. 180; BnF cat., notice no. FRBNF30847627.
- Paginated in ink on rectos only. Pages trimmed in binding, slightly affecting some page numbers.
- Part of top of p. [1] excised, including the first word of title; first 2 lines of text on verso (p. [2]) also affected. Second and third sections are bound out of order. Pages [56]-[60], [230] and 485-487 are blank; an unpaged blank leaf follows p. [230].

- Biography (note)
- Jeanne Antoinette Poisson, marquise de Pompadour, for whom this manuscript was bound, was the official chief mistress of King Louis XV of France from 1745 until her death in 1764. On Dec. 30, 1747, at Versailles, she performed the title role in Louis de Cahusac's one-act comedy Zéneïde (first staged in 1743); cf. Jullien, A. Histoire du théâtre de madame de Pompadour dit Théâtre des petits cabinets (Paris, 1874), p. 18-19. Her acquisition of the manuscript is possibly related to that performance.
