About Antoine Caillot
- Antoine Caillot (29 December 1759, in Lyon – c.
- 1839) was a French man of letters. When the ecclesiastical oath was repealed, he left priesthood, married, was arrested during the reign of Terror and escaped death, so they say, by a confusion of names. He was a teacher, bookseller and freemason.
- He published numerous books, mostly historical, moral or religious compilations as well as pamphlets, sometimes published under the pseudonyms "Gaspard l'Avisé" or "Abbé petit-maître".The Nouveau dictionnaire proverbial, satirique et burlesque, plus complet que ceux qui ont paru jusqu'a ce jour, a l'usage de tout le monde which he published in 1826 was little more than a copy of the Dictionaire comique, satyrique, critique, burlesque, libre & proverbial by Philibert-Joseph Le Roux.
