    • The Works of Francis Rabelais was the outcome of a long process of textual accretion. The first two Books, translated by Sir Thomas Urquhart, were first published in 1653. In 1693-4 Motteux published a new (revised) edition of these volumes, along with a revised version of Urquhart's previously unpublished translation of the third Book, and Motteux's own translations of Books IV and V. Among other prefatory materials, the first volume contained a life of Rabelais and a long preface, both by Motteux; Book IV contained a further preface, along with explanatory remarks to Books IV and V (all by Motteux). This edition was reprinted in 1708, in two volumes. In 1737 Ozell produced a revised five-volume edition, adding a prefatory advertisement and translations of notes by Du Chat and others, as well as further notes of his own. This edition was republished, in a slightly revised form, in the five-volume 'new edition' of 1750. I quote below from the 1750 Works with references by volume and page number.
