- - The author has been variously identified as the Count Charles-César de Rochefort, César de Rochefort, Jean-Baptiste du Tertre, Louis de Poincy, and Charles de Rochefort. Convincing proof of Charles de Rochefort's authorship (an identification which Sabin accepts) is presented in: The authorship and purpose of the Histooire naturelle et morale des îles Antilles, an early Huguenot emigration guide / Everett C. Wilkie, Jr. (In Harvard Library bulletin, n.s., II, 3 (Fall 1991)). Wilkie sees evidence that Poincy may have collaborated with Rochefort in the 1st ed.
