Included are a chronological overview of all nine signatures of "François Dieupart" known to us, genealogical charts of both the Dieupart and Montagu families, a stemma of all known sources of the Six Suittes, and reproductions of two newly recognized painted portraits of Dieupart by Marco Ricci. New elements are also Dieupart's visits and ultimate return to his home country, ultimately in the 1720s, his relatives, marriage and demise at the age of 74 in St-Germain-sur-École near Melun and Fontainebleau. The recovery of Dieupart's birthdate in 1676-about nine years later than hitherto assumed-, of the identity of his parents and musical milieu, and of biographical data of his protectress Elizabeth Montagu, Countess of Sandwich, allow a reconstruction of his early French period, in which this work and its edition came into existence. This is followed by a discussion of his other works, especially those for harpsichord, being lately attributed, and the international reception and influence of his output, particularly in relation to J.S.
