Is not his surname Jullien?

[edit]

Dear colleagues, I would understand his name so that his first name is Jean-Baptiste-Pierre, his surname is Jullien, and his title is knight of Courcelles. I do not understand how his surname as well as the "particule" (i.e. "de") before his title could have been dropped out of his name. Admittedly, Gallica keeps his name under this form (why?). I would propose to move the article to his full name "Jean-Baptiste-Pierre Jullien de Courcelles", which is the form used in the French article. He claims to be "le Chevalier de Courcelles" on the titles pages of his works, but does not seem to have been knighted. Could please somebody from the Wikiproject France intervene and either explain what is going on here and move the article to a better name if needed.
