The published livret of the Bourgeois Gentilhomme court production at Chambord, October 1670 — the most famous Molière-Lully comédie-ballet, with the music-and-dance program of the *intermèdes* (Acte I-IV: Maître de Musique demonstration, Maître à Danser demonstration, Tailors' Dance, Cuisinière chants, Turkish Ceremony 'Mahametta per Giourdina') and the *Ballet des Nations* finale (Acte V: 6 entrées — Distribution des Livres / Provincial Spectators, Trois Importuns, Espagnols, Italiens [Scaramouches/Trivelins/Harlequin Domenico Biancolelli], François [Poitevin Menuets], Mélange des Trois Nations). The Court-Ballet ensemble (Beauchamp + Favier + La Pierre + S.

Mr. Le Seigneur Dominique was Domenico Biancolelli (1636-1688), the most celebrated Harlequin of the Comédie-Italienne.
