epistle including two stories of parental fortitude, written at Vendeuil-sur-Oise. Des anciens tournois et faictz d'armes (1459) Journee l'Onneur et de Prouesse (1459) Cent Nouvelles nouvelles (1461/2?), a collection of short stories, "undoubtedly the first work of literary prose in French", collected (and possibly partly authored or edited) by La Sale. La Sale is considered a possible author of Les Quinze joies de mariage. Some critics have ascribed to him also the farce of Maitre Pathelin, but this is disputed. Notes References Petit Jehan de Saintré by J. M. Guichard (1843); Les Cent Nouvelles Nouvelles by Thomas Wright (Bibliothèque elzevérienne, 1858). La Salade was printed more than once during the sixteenth century. La Salle was never printed. For its contents see E. Gossart in the Bibliophile belge (1871, pp. 77 et seq.). Joseph Neve, Antoine de la Salle, sa vie et ses ouvrages ... suivi du Reconfort de Madame de Fresne ... et de fragments et documents inedits (1903), who argues for the rejection of Les Quinze Joyes and the Cent Nouvelles Nouvelles from La Sale's works.
