The Latin verses by Dorat ''poëte et interprète du Roi'' are accompanied by a translation by Claude Binet (1553-1600), a friend and executor of Ronsard's will. Like the Sibyls who foretold the coming of the Messiah, the work is intended as a prophetic announcement of the coming of an heir to the throne of France. Engraved burin figures by Jean Rabel, painter to the king. Ex-libris ms. Pellissier de Feligonde.
