==Life== Nothing known of Du Bosc's early life and work; it has been usually thought since the late-19th century that Du Bosc was born in France c. 1682,<ref name="On lifetime">In a widely represented point, {{harvnb|Cust|1888|p=80}}, cited in {{harvnb|Treydel|2001|p=79}}, establishes c. 1682 and c. 1745 as respective datings of Du Bosc's birth and death. In a different point, {{harvnb|Herold|Vuaflart|1929|p=93}}, states that there are no actual datings for that.
