Proust provided in 1903 an abridgement of La Bible d'Amiens (his translation of Ruskin) for Renaissance Latine, the periodical founded in 1902 by Constantin de Brancovan. The reference to 'Quiberon' may be an allusion to his visit to Brittany with his first male lover, Reynaldo Hahn in September 1895, when they stayed at Belle-Isle-en-mer, off Quiberon.
