Jacques-Philippe d’Orneval called Dorneval was an 18th-century French playwright, born in Paris at an unknown date and died in 1766.
We know nothing about his origins and life. He wrote more than 80 theatre plays for the theatres de la foire, alone or in collaboration with Alain-René Lesage, Louis Fuzelier, Alexis Piron, Joseph de La Font and Jacques Autreau.
He ended his life in old age, having a passion for chemistry and Philosopher's Stone.
