Miscellany

• Etienne prefers the use of the title "Mécène", as in Mécène Etienne Le Mons d'Anjou. Mécène means patron (of the arts) and is derived from Mécène (“Maecenas”), a Roman advisor (70 B.C.E. – 8 B.C.E.) and important patron for the Augustan poets. It was also used in reference to René of Anjou (sometimes referred to as René le mécène).
• Etienne's registered name is Eʃtienne Le Mons d'Anjou. The ʃ is a 'long s' and is silent. To prevent confusion, Etienne often drops it from the name. He does still use ʃ as his 'maker's mark' on scrolls and other art projects.

It is pronounced as: /me.sɛn/
