The title page of the Ballet de la Nuit

Jean de Cambefort (1605–1676) was a French Baroque composer of ballets and liturgical music. He was born in Paris, France. He is most famous for his co-authorship on the Ballet de la Nuit (with Jean-Baptiste Boësset, Michel Lambert and probably also with Jean-Baptiste Lully) but with absolutely no evidence.
