For discussion of authorship question and explanation of the scandal on which the tale is based and of the anagrammatic names in the title, as well as reproductions of the plates in several editions, cf. Thérèse philosophe : erotische Kupferstiche aus fünf berühmten Büchern / Nachwort von Jacques Duprilot. c1982.
