Kevin,
The discrepancy in dates may be related to the fact that Veyne's book: Comment on écrit l'histoire: Essai d'épistémologie was initially published in 1971 and then republished a few times in new editions that included "Foucault révolutionne l'histoire." Naissance de la biopolitique refers to a 1979 edition of Comment on écrit l'histoire published in Seuil's "Points - histoire" series, where "Foucault révolutionne l'histoire" is cited on pages 227-230 (see endnote 4 of the lesson of January 10, 1979, p. 26). However, in the author's list of publications ("Du même auteur") at the end of the latest book of Veyne on Foucault--Foucault: sa pensée, sa personne, Albin Michel, 2008, only two editions are mentioned: the 1971 orginal publication and the 1996 edition in Seuil's "Points - histoire" series.
Furthermore, in his new book menioned above, Veyne refers to a 1978 date for his essay on Foucault ("Foucault révolutionne l'histoire"). See page 28, footnote 2.
I do not know if this helps.
Best,
Fouad Kalouche
