About Jean Paul André Razins De Saint Marc
- Jean-Paul-André des Razins, marquis de Saint-Marc, (29 November 1728 – 11 September 1818) was an 18th-century French playwright and librettist. A former officer of the Gardes françaises, Saint-Marc wrote the libretto for Adèle de Ponthieu, a five-act tragedy set to music by Niccolò Piccinni.
- He composed several opéra comique librettos and numerous pieces of fugitive poetry.
