Note
  • Caption title.
  • By Esprit-Jean-Baptiste Desforges; see Barbier and other sources cited below.
  • Described as "faite par Monsieur Desforges, ancien clec de notaire, & auteur du feu Rival sécretaire, comédie" in Louis Mannory's Observations sur la Semiramis de M. de Voltaire, 1749, page 3.
  • Quérard gives publication information as "Paris, Cailleau, 1748," perhaps by confusion with Cailleau's Critique, scène par scène, sur Semiramis, which was issued with that imprint.
  • Date of publication deduced from date of first performance of Voltaire's Sémiramis (August 29, 1748) at the Comédie française, Paris, and from reference to "l'auteur de la première Lettre critique sur la tragédie de Sémiramis" in Louis Travenol's Epitre chagrine, dated 1748 on title page.
