- Notes:
- First published anonymously in 1622 under title: Le Parnasse des poëtes satyriques. Later editions were attributed to Théophile Viau, but although some of his verses were included, many were actually by Guillaume Colletet, Nicolas Frénicle and Pierre Berthelot. The 1622 edition was compiled by Antoine Estoc and Antoine de Sommaville, with the collaboration of Guillaume Colletet.
- Printing assigned to Severinus in Leiden by Rahir based on the device on t.p. (Rahir, p. 450, no. 203) which was used in the 1670 Polybius printed by Severinus. Willems assigns it to the printer of the 1666 Cabinet satyrique, the Officina Hackiana. Frequently incorrectly assigned to the Elzevier.
