The English version was John Lacy in 1707 in London with the title "A Cry from the Desart ", since the presence of refugees in the country dreamers and prophets aroused great public interest.

Both editions were for the German translation of the "rare and strange Tractätleins " used the 1712 Holy titled Look Square The Country Creates Cevennes, or Historical Erzehlung many wonder what in Franckreich done under the Cevennern in the province of Languedoc Kurtzer time ago, and are proved by the court - beschworne statements and other evidence appeared.
