Notes

Rabbe's ''Biographie universelle' describes Digeon as an orientalist who spent 40 years in the Middle East, before returning to Paris to take up a post as "secrétaire-interprète du roi au ministère des affaires étrangères", and be elected to the Académie des inscriptions et belles-lettres. He wrote some histories of the Ottomans and translated 'Nouveaux contes Turcs et Arabes' (1781) as well as several pieces of poetry and prose from Arabic and Turkish.

CERL suggests that he may have been related to Digeon, the publisher.
