no idea who this Pierre Le Noble is. --

Even has a GND-number 3D128387769 - not that this would be any security. --Olaf Simons (talk) 14:54, 5 August 2022 (CEST)

most probably a pseudonym; maybe a connection with Eustache Le Noble; anyway, I don't think it is correct to define him as a novellist; he was a pamphleteer and satirist. --Bruno Belhoste (talk) 15:27, 5 August 2022 (CEST)

What was a novelist in the 1690s? Someone who spread short intriguing pieces - all others would have been romancers anyway. But I agree with you, the person is more or less empty, a placeholder.

I am thinking of importing the English ESTC - the fiction field - and I wonder what could be a good French source for the entire French market of fiction, whether new works or just 2nd and 3rd editions, whether original French or translation of English titles...

The aim would be to find out how information travelled on this market. Germany is said to have switched from French imports to English around 1750 but that has not been said with database knowledge, it is more of a contemporary idea promoting titles like Pamela.

Is there a good French source of all titles of Fiction, if possible with library shelf marks and Gallica France links? --Olaf Simons (talk) 15:35, 5 August 2022 (CEST)

Srep 2 would be to connect all titles to all reviews... --Olaf Simons (talk) 15:36, 5 August 2022 (CEST)

I think you can use Data BNF which has a sparql endpoint. OpenRefine does'nt seem to work with it (at least OpenRefine 3.6, I used Data BNF with an older OpenRefine version). Alternatively, you can use [1] (but there is no manual). I can help you if you want --Bruno Belhoste (talk) 16:19, 5 August 2022 (CEST)

These French are so ahead of us! --Olaf Simons (talk) 16:23, 5 August 2022 (CEST)

I will come back on this after August 21. This is a trap and I'd get lost, if I'd jump into it. --Olaf Simons (talk) 16:32, 5 August 2022 (CEST)

No problem --Bruno Belhoste (talk) 17:00, 5 August 2022 (CEST)
