Pierre de Lavirey was born in the east of France in 1541 and died
in 1619 in Troyes. Little is known about him or his life, but, in
addition to his translations of various Italian books, he has left
behind him adaptations into French of nine Italian plays which make
him one of the most prolific writers of comedy in the sixteenth
centruy. These adaptations are a valuable source for the study of
the language of the theatre and of the techniques of creative
translation in the period. Les Tromperies formed part of the second
collection of adaptations written by Lavirey. It was first
published in Troyes in 1611 by Pierre Chevillot. Its source is
Nicolo Secco's Gl'Inganni, first performed in Milan in 1548. This
title is Volume 100 in the series Exeter French Texts/Textes
litteraires. It includes an introduction, select bibliography and
essential notes, all in French.
