Note
  • On title page, "par Momus" follows edition statement.
  • "Momus" is identified as François-Zacharie Pourroy de l'Auberivière, chevalier de Quinsonas, by sources cited below.
  • Facetious edition statement. Only two editions are known, both with edition statement as above.
  • Probable publication information deduced from inclusion in a contemporary volume containing ten typographically similar pamphlets relating to the battle of Fontenoy and/or Voltaire's Poème de Fontenoy, of which the first two have imprint: A Lyon : De l'imprimerie d'Aymé Delaroche ...
  • Signatures: A-C⁴.
  • Title page and text of La Capilotade within double rule border.
  • Woodcut title page ornament, signed V. LS [Vincent Le Sueur] in. f.; type flower headpiece; floriated initials.
  • For an edition with 16 pages, see Quérard, J.M. Supercheries littéraires dévoilées (2. éd.), t. 2, column 1179.
  • Followed by "Apologie du poeme de M. de V*** sur la bataille de Fontenoy" (pages [13]-24), with caption title; perhaps by same author. The "Apologie" was also published separately without name of author, with facetious edition statement "Premiere edition conforme à la seconde"; see BnF FRBNF35943826.
