Ballot de Sauvot
Sylvain Ballot de Sauvot (1703 – December 1760) was an 18th-century French lawyer at Parlement of Paris and man of letters amateur, belonging to the entourage of Jean-Philippe Rameau (Sylvain Ballot, his brother, was Rameau's notary).
He reworked the librettos of Académie royale de musique 9 February 1749, after the première had taken place in Versailles, four years before.[1]
During the Querelle des Bouffons, he defended Rameau, whom he greatly admired, and fought a duel in 1753 with the castrato Gaetano Caffarelli.
