MAZARINADES] - . . In-4, 120 Mazarinades, a few faint watermarks, ivory vellum. Farewell (1') by Jules Mazarin to France, to Paris and to the gentlemen of Parliament. Paris, Mathurin Henault, 1649, 6 pages. Signed Francese Cornelio. MOREAU 37. - A burlesque address from Mazarin’s horse to his master. Paris, the widow Musnier, 1649, 8 pages. MOREAU 494. There is enough wit and licentiousness to make this one of the most curious plays of the Fronde. - A pleasant and true account of what took place before and since the king’s removal from the city of Paris by the council of Jules Mazarin, in burlesque verse. Paris, Jacques Guillery, 1649, 16 pages. MOREAU 55. This play was published after the capture of Charenton. - An entertaining account of what took place at the final barricades of Paris, described in burlesque verse. Paris, Nicolas Bessin, 1649, 23 pages. MOREAU 56. The text presents *L’Agréable récit des barricades*, a burlesque work on the Fronde, highly witty and much appreciated, favourably compared to Scarron. It details its various editions, which are often erroneous, and notes that the third is the most complete. The author, probably Verderonne, adopts a satirical tone directed not against the court, but against the Frondeurs in Parliament and the bourgeoisie. - Ballad to Jules Mazarin on his game of hoc. Paris, 1649, 4 pages. MOREAU 563. This ballad was also printed under the titles *Satire on Mazarin sent to the Duke of Beaufort*, *Ballad of Mazarin, the great hoc player*, and *Ballads serving the story*. - The Political Censor at the Most August Parliament of Paris. Paris, Mathieu Colombel, 1649, 28 pages. MOREAU 668. An excellent piece, containing very judicious observations on the tailles, on criminal justice, on sales by decree or property seizures, and on imprisonment for civil purposes. - The Farewell of Cardinal Mazarin, with an anagram of his name and nickname. (S. 1.), 1649, 4 pages. MOREAU 754. Signed P. M., barrister. Abominable. The anagram of Jules Mazarin here is ‘La luyne (sic) amère’. It is a reproduction of a pamphlet directed against the Constable of Luynes, whose emblem was the aluyne herb, or wormwood. - The Last Onion Soup for Mazarin, or the Confirmation of the Judgement of 8 January 1649, in burlesque verse. Paris, Nicolas Jacquard, 1649, 6 pages. MOREAU 1028. The text corrects an error of attribution: the works signed by Nicolas Ledru are not by Isaac de Laffemas, but partly by his son, the Abbé de Laffemas, a satirical writer of the Fronde. Tallemant des Réaux describes him as witty but frivolous, an author of pamphlets against Mazarin. A source also confirms that Cardinal Mazarin mentions him in his notebooks. - *Déroute (la) des partisans rostis* (The Rout of the Roasted Partisans), in burlesque verse. Paris, Widow Musnier, 1649, 11 pages. MOREAU 1051. The same play appears under both titles. - *Dialogue burlesque de Gilles le niais et du capitan Spacamon*. Paris, the widow of Théod. Pépingué and Est. Mau-croy, 1649, 8 pages. MOREAU 1072. Rare. - *The Ecstasy of France Dying of Love for Jesus Christ Crucified*, in burlesque verse. Paris, Claude Morlot, 1649, 8 pages. MOREAU 1337. Fortunately, the verses are not burlesque; but they are very poor indeed. - Faithful translation of the Easter Sunday sermon, delivered in the presence of the King and his court by a Theatine priest in the church of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, in burlesque verse. Paris, Claude Morlot, 1649, 7 pages. MOREAU 1391. Might this not be the translation of the pamphlet to which Naudé refers on p. 190 of the *Mascurat*, under the title: *Sermon d’État prêché à Saint-Germain devant la cour*? - *The Torch of Olympus*, dedicated to His Grace the Duke of Beaufort, with the voice and wishes of the people, by Sieur Barroys. Paris, the widow of Anthoine Coulon, 1649, 8 pages. MOREAU 1398. On the summit of Mount Olympus, in Anatolia (sic), there is a fire in the midst of which a tree grows, without being burnt. This tree is the Duke of Beaufort. - France (la) speaking to the sleeping Duke of Orléans. Paris (undated), 4 pages. MOREAU 1435. A highly scathing pamphlet, whose only misfortune is that it is one of the most commonplace. It appeared in the early months of 1649. - *The Nocturnal Abduction of the King from Paris*, carried out by Cardinal Mazarin on Twelfth Night, in burlesque verse. Paris, Arnoult Cottinet, 1649, 32 pages. MOREAU 2530. Naudé, on page 285 of *Le Mascurat*, states that this pamphlet is merely an imitation of *L’Agréable récit des barricades*. This is true. Yet it does display a certain wit. There is another edition from 1649, also comprising 32 pages, but published by Pierre le Champenois. Arnould Cottinet also reprinted it in 1649, together with *Le Troisième babillard*, *Le Coq à l’âne* and *L’Anagramme prophétique sur la sortie du cardinal*. - Astrological Visions by Michel Nostradamus on all the affairs of the day and Mazarin’s confusion, in burlesque verse. Paris, the widow of André Musnier, 1649, 11 pages. MOREAU 4038. These visions are generally rather ridiculous; some are very insolent, etc.
