Does anyone know if there is/was an earlier version of "Hippolyte et
   Aricie" i.e. before Rameau's opera with this title?   Either as an
   opera or ballet?

   The large French ms. of baroque guitar music F:PnMs.Res.F844 includes a
   piece on p.263 with the title "Entree dAricie".

   Curiously this seems to be the same as the piece in the Princess Anne
   book with the title "Doritye".

   It can't be by Rameau because the manuscript is earlier.
