Alexandre Jean Baptiste PILLON (Amiens, Somme, 1792–1876) Hellenist, Man of Letters – Signed autograph letter, Paris, February 8, 1841, to Mr. LEBAS, Member of the Institute (address) – 1 p., in-8°: “I have the honor of thanking Mr. LEBAS … for Mr. Amati’s work, in which he was kind enough to cite my 1812 dissertation in Italian on the baths of Maximian Hercules.... spectators could see, on one side, the games of the Palestra and, outside, the chariot and horse races... In the recently discovered fragments of columns, capitals, and other elements, I might find confirmation of my theory, but I no longer have the time to revisit work I completed 29 years ago.”
