It would seem to be the latter, though the editions with Valfray’s genuine-looking imprint are of the former.<div><br></div><div>NB: It’s Valfray, not Valfrey.<br><div><br></div><div>There are various editions of both around this time, including a 1683 (and apparently a 1690) Valfray edition of the Le Clerc translation (see #819141128 and #458162377 for 1690; #458162373 and Google Books <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=ufWpksL631QC" style="font-family: BellMT;">https://books.google.com/books?id=ufWpksL631QC</a> for 1683).</div><div><br></div><div>The edition with “sur l’imprimé” appears to be of the Marsilly translation; why it would refer in a false imprint to an edition of a different translation is puzzling.</div><div><br></div><div>In any case, though the imprint following “sur l’imprimé” has to be taken into account, I don’t see that Lyon can be assumed as either place of publication or place of production (unless there’s other evidence).
