A COPY BEARING THE ARMS AND CIPHER OF JULIE-LUCINE D'ANGENNES, DUCHESS OF MONTAUSIER (1607-1671).
An attractive provenance. Daughter of the Marquise de Rambouillet, whose illustrious literary salon she frequented during her youth before becoming its main inspiration, Julie d'Angennes married the Duc de Montausier in 1645, who had courted her for twelve years. It was for her that the famous Guirlande de Julie was composed (cf. Quentin Bauchart, Les Femmes bibliophiles, t. I, pp. 229-240).
From the Robert Samuel Turner library (bookplate).
Upper hinge split over a few centimetres.
