Includes following with a starting title: Le Procez verbal d'un nommé Nicolas Poulain, lieutenant de la prevosté de l'Isle de France, qui contient l'Histoire de la Ligue, depuis le second Janvier 1585. jusquques au jour des barricades, escheuës le 12 May 1588 - (suivi) d'un Extraict d'un conseil secret tenu à Rome peu après l'arrivée de l'Evesque de Paris (pp. 71-86). Ex. entirely interleaved with 17th century ms. additions. These additions can be found in: Recueil de diverses pièces servant à l'histoire de Henry III, roy de France et de Pologne. Cologne, Pierre du Marteau, 1663. They were actually taken from the manuscript of P. de L'Estoile's Journal, and will appear again in later editions.
