Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ADA-AIZ
AISSB [a corruption of HAIDEE], MADEMOISELLE (c. 1694-1733) , French
letter
 -writer, was the daughter of a Circassian
chief
 , and was born about 1694. Her father's palace was pillaged by the Turks, and as a child of four years old she was sold to the comte de Ferriol, the French
ambassador
  at
Constantinople
 . She was brought up in Paris by Ferriol's
sister
 -in-law with her own sons, MM. d'Argental and Pont de Veyle. Her
great
  beauty and romantic history made her the fashion, and she attracted the notice of the regent, Philip, duke of Orleans, whose offers she had the strength of mind to refuse. She formed a deep and lasting attachment to the Chevalier d'Aydie, by whom she had a daughter. She died in Paris on the 13th of
March
  1733. Her letters to her friend Madame Calandrini contain much interesting information with regard to con-temporary celebrities, especially on Mme. du Deffand and Mme. de Tencin, but they are above all of
interest
  in the picture they
afford of the writer's own tenderness and fidelity. Her Lettres were edited by Voltaire (1787), by J. Ravenel, with a notice by Sainte-Beuve (1846) and by
Eugene
  Asse (1873). Mlle. Aisse has been the subject of three plays: by A. de Lavergne and P. Woucher (1854), by Louis Bouilhet (1872) and by Dejoux (1898).
See also Courteault, Une Idylle au X VIIle siecle, Mlle. Assse et le Chevalier d'Aydie (
Macon
 , 1900) ; and notices prefixed to the editions of 1846 and 1873. There is an interesting essay by E. Gosse in his French Profiles (1905).
