Part of this material, giving an account of his adventures as a woman, was surreptitiously used in an anonymous "Histoire de madame la comtesse de Barres" (Antwerp, 1735) and again with much editing in the "Vie de M. l'abbé de Choisy" (Lausanne and Geneva, 1742), ascribed by Paul Lacroix to Lenglet Dufresnoy; the text was finally edited (1870) by Lacroix as "Aventures de l'abbé de Choisy".
