Who was Jean-Baptiste Bullet?
Jean-Baptiste Bullet was a French writer on philology and antiquities, and the author of Histoire de l'Établissement du Christianisme, a treaty of the existence of God demonstrated by nature in response to the problems evoked by unbelievers against various parts of the holy books. But he is best known for his memoirs of the Celtic language and for his historical research on the of playing cards and his Dissertation on various topics in the history of France. It is in this last work that he argues that the word "fleur de lys" has no similarity with the royal insignia bearing the flower of the same name, but the word "lis" which in Celtic language would have meant "sovereign king."
