yes, it's not at all an uncommon book (though i never bought and sold a copy
of it).
i've seen it cited often in the crusade-related 2ndary literature.
but *always* with "[Marquis d']Albon" as the author --*never* with "André
Levieux," which is the author's name as given in the original posting from
Brother Izbicki.
this one, from your Karlsruhe catalog
http://tinyurl.com/7qftvtp
is the longest author citation i've ever seen: "Verfasser: Albon, Guigues
Alexis Marie Joseph André d'"
why the publisher would, essentially, change the name of the author (or even
wish to use a different part of the fellow's name (let alone one that is
*never* cited) is, as i said, quite beyond my pay-grade to understand.
but, the "Methods" of Bibliothéqueaires and Publishers have always eluded me,
in this incarnation.
of course, it is an important publication of the original charters, not at all
uncommon in a hard copy format, and easily available on Gallica:
http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k91414v.r=.langEN
[my previous link to it on that site was incorrect --sorry]
though you can't find it there --or anywhere else-- by searching for an author
named "André Levieux" --who never published anything, at least anything that
the Bibliothéque natonale knows of.
perhaps we should suspend judgement on the wisdom of using the new moniker and
wait a century or so, see how often it appears in the 2ndary literature under
the new, egalitarian author-name the reprint publisher seems to prefer.
thanks, Richard.
