Jérôme de la GORCE : 'Jean-Baptiste Lully', Grove Music Online, ed. L. Macy (Accessed 31 March 2004), http://www.grovemusic.com :
"Jean-Baptiste Lully (ii)
(b Paris, 6 Aug 1665; d Paris, 9 March 1743). Composer, second son of Jean-Baptiste Lully. He was destined for the church at an early age, and on 6 May 1678, when he was 12, the king gave him the benefice of the abbey of St Hilaire in the diocese of Carcassonne; he exchanged it for that of St Georges-sur-Loire, near Angers, in 1684. Like his brothers, he was active as a composer, but there was some dispute concerning his talents. According to a document of 1768, he 'knew hardly anything about music', a situation which suggests that he had recourse to the services of one or more collaborators. That did not prevent his putting his name to several works at court, and being appointed surintendant de la musique du roi on 7 February 1696."

L'Académie royale de musique au XVIIIe siècle, 1884, t. II, p. 152 :
"Jean-Baptiste de Lulli fut pourvu, le 7 février 1695, de la charge de surintendant de la musique du Roi, en remplacement de Boësset. Il a fait représenter en 1690 à l'Opéra, en collaboration avec son frère Louis, Orphée, tragédie dont les paroles étaient de du Boullay." On l'appelle parfois l'abbé Lulli "à cause de l'abbaye de Saint-Hilaire, près Narbonne, dont l'avait gratifié Louis XIV."
