JOSSE, L.
JOSSE, L. (French). Goldsmith of the early part of the eighteenth century. M. Guiffrey ascribes to him a medal of Louis XIV., signed L, I, for which he was paid the sum of 400 livres on December 31, 1716. The name reminds one of Moliére's : Vous étes orfévre, M. Josse? As M.

Bibliography. — J. J. Guiffrey,...
