(This work was completed and published by a certain Abguebre. This is a very large repository of information, but less accurate and less methodical than the Dictionnaire by Léris which, however, has only one volume. Voltaire himself wrote the article about him in the Parfaict brothers' Dictionnaire. The seventh volume doesn't reach the 20 August 1755.

François Parfaict also left a manuscript for a Histoire de l’Opéra, which didn't appear, and a lyric tragedy entitled Atrée. He published the Œuvres de Boindin, 1753, 2 vol. in- 12.
