Between 1799 and 1808, Sonnini de Manoncourt wrote 127 volumes of the
Histoire naturelle. Noteworthy among these, especially for
herpetologists, is ''Histoire naturelle des Reptiles, avec figures desinées d'après nature'', in four volumes, which he wrote with
Pierre André Latreille. This work includes descriptions and illustrations of many North American reptiles. Another important work attributed to him is
The Lost Chapter of the Acts of the Apostles, also dubbed the
