Actually, a friend of mine, simply on a lark, happened to transcribe the
Urquhart game list (at least, I believe he was working from Urquhart)
onto the Web just last week. It's at:

However, he also alphabetized the list while he was doing so, so
correlating it with the French original isn't simple...
