It also says, elsewhere in the notes, that the silk (!) for the costumes was sourced from a brocade company that has been in continuous business since the 16th century.
Perhaps this is me being partial, what with my fondness for Doulce Memoire, but it doesn't seem to me like this is a "they" here, but a "him". It looks to me like Denis et al are scrupulous reconstructors who do not do what the choreographer did, and would not have tolerated it if they understood - it sounds like he used points upward a heap of excuses as to why it was okay to get his Creative on and since they all sound plausible to non-dance-scholars, he got away with it.
I think Hazebroucq betrayed Doulce Memoire (and the BEMF), not that Doulce Memoire put him up to it. I think they delegated the job to him and trusted him not to do... exactly this. And he took advantage of their ignorance to supervise his work.
