Typhon Jove rapiens. Ode in Julium Mazarinum. Parisiis. Dyonisius Langloeus, 1649, 6 pages. MOREAU 3903.
- Observationes politicæ super nuperis Galliæ mo-tibus (S. 1.), 1649, 47 pages. MOREAU 2567. Good reflections, especially at the beginning; often fair criticism of both parties; elegant and firm style; in a word, a very remarkable pamphlet, of which the in-4 edition is one of the most common. There is an Elzévirien edition of this pamphlet with the same title and the same date, in small in-12 format. Copies are rare.
- Icon tyranni in invectiva contra Mazarinum ex-pressa. Parisiis, 1649, 20 pages. MOREAU 1674. From the beginning of the Fronde, since the Duc d'Elbeuf was then generalissimo. Good Latinity; verve and sometimes eloquence. The first edition is dedicated to the Parlement; the second, slightly enlarged, to the Prince de Conty. This one is still from 1649, but without the name of the place. It adds to the title Et aucta. It has 28 pages. The two dedicatory epistles are signed M. D. B. (Mathieu Du Bos). The translation is based on the first edition. It is at least mediocre. Du Bos complained vehemently about it and said somewhere that the translator had turned his pamphlet into a carnival play.
- Discours prophétique contenant quarante-quatre mes sur le nom de Jules Mazarin. Paris, anagrammes Arnould Cottinet, 1649, 7 pages. MOREAU 1140. We need only repeat the word of Naudé, page 230 of the Mascurat These anagrams arrange Mazarin in a strange way.
- Ad regem Ludovicum XIV ut in urbem regni principem redire velit. Ode. Parisiis, Dyonisius Lan-glœus, 1649, 7 pages. MOREAU 34 presents Gabriel Madelenet as a great Latin poet of the seventeenth century, much admired by his contemporaries, to the point of being compared to Horace. It points out that his reputation was widely echoed by biographers. After his death, his works were published, thanks in particular to the Comte de Brienne, with several editions appearing in Paris. Finally, his poems, dedicated to major political figures, are closely linked to the history of the reigns of Louis XIII and Louis XIV.
- Lettre de reproche de la reine au cardinal Mazarin sur le repentir qu'elle a de l'avoir aimé (S. 1.), 1649, 6 pages. MOREAU 2051.This letter seems to promise scandal; and it would be quite innocent, except that it is stupidly violent. It has been reprinted under the title Lettre de la reine envoyée au cardinal Mazarin, etc.
- Letter from Cardinal Mazarin to the Most Serene Archduke Leopold, together with that from M. de La Tour, Governor of Arras, to Monseigneur le Prince de Conty. Paris, 1649, 4 pages. Dated 14 and 17 January. False and supposed (Mascurat, p. 15). MOREAU 2095.
- Letter from Cardinal Antonio Barberin, sent from Rome to Cardinal Mazarin at Saint-Germain-en-Laye, concerning the troubles in France. Paris, widow André Musnier, 1649, 8 pages. MOREAU 2086. Dated Rome, 9 February. There is an Answer from Cardinal Mazarin, etc.
- Letter sent to Dom Francisco Maria del Mo-nacho, Sicilian, superior of the Theatines, preacher and confessor of Cardinal Mazarin, in which he is summarily answered to the libels thrown in Paris by the enemies of the State. Paris, Pierre Du Pont, 1649, 8 pages. MOREAU 2225.
- Lettre (la) du sieur Pepoli, comte bolognois, écrite au cardinal Mazarin, touchant sa retraite hors du royaume de France. (S. 1.), 1649, 8 pages. MOREAU 2205. Signed: Marco-Flaminio Pepoli. False and supposed. (Mascurat, p. 15.) The author claims that Mazarin had sent for Magalotti from Florence with the promise of the Marshal's baton, but on condition that he be recognised as his relative. Magalotti came and refused to recognise him. This refusal is mentioned in the Letter from Chevalier Georges. However, Magalotti was appointed Marshal of Camp and would have been Marshal of France after the capture of La Mothe had he not been killed during the siege.
- Letter from Polichinelle to Jules Mazarin. Paris, Jean Hénault, 1649, 8 pages. MOREAU 2045. Rare. Signed. The abbé d'Artigny quotes, page 36 of the II vol. of his Mémoires, a rondeau to the abbé de La Rivière, which bears the same signature; but he does not say that it was printed.
- Lettre d'un secrétaire de S. Innocent à Jules Mazarin. Paris, Nicolas Boisset, 1649, 8 pages. MOREAU 1896. Signed C. J. This is one of the good pieces that Naudé quotes, p. 208 of the Mascurat. It contains many anecdotes; here are a few: Bautru, flattering a member of the Parlement, said to Mazarin: Je caresse le chien qui pourrait me mordre quelque jour. Tallemant des Réaux recorded this witty remark in his Historiettes. When d'Emery left the superintendence, the cardinal borrowed ten thousand livres from Desbournais. The Duchesse d'Aiguillon told him: It would have been better to let people believe that you had twelve million.
- Discours sur l'entrevue du cardinal Mazarin et de monsieur d'Hocquincourt, gouverneur de Péronne (S. 1.), 1649, 15 pages. MOREAU 1145. A good piece, lacking only in rarity. The court was in Amiens; and the siege of Cambray had been lifted, If we are to believe Madame de Motteville, the cardinal only wanted to mend fences with d'Hocquincourt; and he was not thinking of taking away his place. The trip was a complete success.
- All the people of France should therefore stop shouting that the princes are returning the powers of those of Orleans and Burgundy to their houses, that they want to pass their governments on to their posterity and make them the property of their families.
- Apologie pour monseigneur le cardinal Mazarin, drawn from a conference between his eminence and mònsieur *, a man of probity and an excellent casuist, held at Saint-Germain on two consecutive days. First day. Paris, François Preuveray, 1649, 39 pages. MOREAU 127. The second day begins on page 21. It is an apology such as the slingshot could and should have made. The play is moreover very witty and embraces almost the whole life of the cardinal; it appeared after the comedy of the Spanish embassy to the parliament.
- Calumnies (les) du cardinal Mazarin réfutées et rejetées sur Son Eminence. Paris, François Preuve-ray, 1649, 6 pages. MOREAU 618. This piece is signed: Par l'auteur du discours intitule: Raisonnement sur les affaires présentes, etc. The purpose of the two pamphlets is to show how the affairs of England differ from the affairs of Paris.
- Emblêmes (les) politiques présentés à Son Éminence. Paris, 1649, 7 pages. MOREAU 1212. Counterfeit of Secret à l'oreille d'un domestique de Mazarin à Mazarin, etc.
