Two editions of Oeuvres de Gresset appeared in 1811, according to Quérard (tome 3, page 471), one from Didot with an introduction by M. Fayolle, the other from Renouard with engravings and with an introduction by Renouard (A.A.R.). The Didot version had two volumes, while Quérard says this Renouard edition had three volumes, the third volume of which contained the posthumous work, Le Parrain magnifique. Quérard also lists Le Parrain magnifique separately as published by Renouard in 1810. This last should be considered as an appendix, according to the BNF
