Note 5 — III. THE FEAST OF FOOLS IN EUROPE.
Reading edition
See in Dictionary of French and English Language, by Ferdinand E. A. Gasc, London, Bell and Daldy, York Street, Covent Garden, 1873.
Littré, whose work appeared in 1863, gives as one of his definitions, “anything that is shaped like a sausage.”
Bescherelle, Spiers and Surenne, and Boyer, do not give Gasc’s definition.
