MAZARINADES] - . . In-4, 80 Mazarinades, a few marginal stains, granulated brown calfskin binding, double gilt thread on the covers, decorated ribbed spine, endpapers and cap covers restored. Typhon Jove rapiens. Ode in Julium Mazarinum. Parisiis. Dyonisius Langloeus, 1649, 6 pages. MOREAU 3903. - Observationes politicæ super nuperis Galliæ motibus. (Vol. 1), 1649, 47 pages. MOREAU 2567. Sound reflections, particularly at the outset; often fair-minded criticism of both parties; elegant and forceful style; in short, a most remarkable pamphlet, of which the in-4 edition is the most common. There is an Elzevir edition of this pamphlet with the same title and date, in small 12mo format. Copies of this are rare. - *Icon tyranni in invectiva contra Mazarinum ex-pressa*. Parisiis, 1649, 20 pages. MOREAU 1674. Dating from the start of the Fronde, as the Duke of Elbeuf was then Generalissimo. Good Latin; spirited and at times eloquent. The first edition is dedicated to Parliament; the second, slightly expanded, to the Prince of Conty. This edition is also from 1649, but gives no place of publication. It adds ‘Et aucta’ to the title. It comprises 28 pages. Both dedicatory epistles are signed M. D. B. (Mathieu Du Bos). The translation was based on the first edition. It is, at best, mediocre. Du Bos complained bitterly about it; he said somewhere that the translator had turned his pamphlet into a carnival piece. - A Prophetic Discourse containing forty-four verses on the name of Jules Mazarin. Paris, anagrams by Arnould Cottinet, 1649, 7 pages. MOREAU 1140. One need only repeat Naudé’s words on page 230 of the *Mascurat*: ‘These anagrams portray Mazarin in a strange light.’ - To King Louis XIV, that he may wish to return to the capital as prince of the realm. Ode. Paris, Dyonisius Lan-glœus, 1649, 7 pages. MOREAU 34. The text presents Gabriel Madelenet as a great 17th-century Latin poet, so highly admired by his contemporaries that he was compared to Horace. It emphasises that his reputation was widely publicised through praise echoed by biographers. After his death, his works were published, notably thanks to the Count of Brienne, with several editions appearing in Paris. Finally, his poems, dedicated to leading political figures, are closely linked to the history of the reigns of Louis XIII and Louis XIV. - A letter of reproach from the Queen to Cardinal Mazarin expressing her regret at having loved him. (S. 1.), 1649, 6 pages. MOREAU 2051. This letter seems to promise scandal; and it would be quite innocent, were it not for its foolish vehemence. It was reprinted under the title ‘Letter from the Queen to Cardinal Mazarin, etc.’ - Letter from Cardinal Mazarin to His Serene Highness Archduke Leopold, together with that from M. de La Tour, Governor of Arras, to His Grace the Prince of Conty. Paris, 1649, 4 pages. Dated 14 and 17 January. Fake and alleged (Mascurat, p. 15). MOREAU 2095. - Letter from Cardinal Antonio Barberin, sent from Rome to Cardinal Mazarin at Saint-Germain-en-Laye, concerning the unrest in France. Paris, the widow of André Musnier, 1649, 8 pages. MOREAU 2086. Dated in Rome, 9 February. There is a reply from Cardinal Mazarin, etc. - Letter sent to Dom Francisco Maria del Monacho, a Sicilian, Superior of the Theatines, preacher and confessor to Cardinal Mazarin, in which a brief reply is given to the defamatory pamphlets circulated in Paris by the enemies of the State. Paris, Pierre Du Pont, 1649, 8 pages. MOREAU 2225. - A letter from Sieur Pepoli, Count of Bologna, written to Cardinal Mazarin, concerning his retirement from the Kingdom of France. (S. 1.), 1649, 8 pages. MOREAU 2205. Signed: Marco-Flaminio Pepoli. Forged and fictitious. (Mascurat, p. 15.) The author claims that Mazarin had summoned Magalotti from Florence on the promise of the marshal’s baton, but on condition that he recognise Mazarin as his kinsman. Magalotti came and refused to acknowledge him. This refusal is mentioned in the Letter from Chevalier Georges. However, Magalotti was appointed field marshal; and he would have become 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, on page 36 of Volume II of his *Mémoires*, a *rondeau* addressed to the Abbé de La Rivière, which bears the same signature; but he does not state that it was ever printed. - A letter from a secretary of St Innocent to Jules Mazarin. Paris, Nicolas Boisset, 1649, 8 pages. MOREAU 1896. Signed C. J. This is one of the fine pieces cited by Naudé on p. 208 of the *Mascurat*. It contains many anecdotes; here are a few: Bautru, flattering a member of Parliament, said to Mazarin: ‘I am petting the dog that might bite me one day.’ Tallemant des Réaux recorded this witty remark in his *Historiettes*. When d’Emery stepped down as Superintendent, the Cardinal borrowed ten thousand livres from Desbournais. The Duchess of Aiguillon said to him: ‘It would have been better to let people believe you had twelve million.’ - Discourse on the meeting between Cardinal Mazarin and Monsieur d’Hocquincourt, Governor of Péronne. (S. 1.), 1649, 15 pages. MOREAU 1145. A fine piece, lacking only in rarity. The court was at Amiens; and the siege of Cambray had been lifted. If we are to believe Madame de Motteville, the Cardinal merely wished to make amends with d’Hocquincourt; and he had no intention of depriving him of his post. The journey proved entirely successful. - Let all the French therefore cease to cry out that the princes are restoring, within their own houses, the powers once held by the Houses of Orléans and Burgundy; that they wish to pass on their governments to their descendants and make them hereditary estates of their families. - A Defence of His Eminence Cardinal Mazarin, drawn from a discussion between His Eminence and Monsieur *, a man of integrity and an excellent casuist, held at Saint-Germain over two consecutive days. First day. Paris, François Preuveray, 1649, 39 pages. MOREAU 127. The second day begins on page 21. It is an apologia such as the Fronde could and ought to have produced. The play is, moreover, highly witty and covers almost the entire life of the cardinal; it was published after the comedy concerning the Spanish embassy to Parliament. - The Slanders against Cardinal Mazarin Refuted and Rejected by His Eminence. Paris, François Preuveray, 1649, 6 pages. MOREAU 618. This pamphlet is signed: By the author of the discourse entitled: ‘Reasoning on Current Affairs’, etc. The purpose of both pamphlets is to show how affairs in England differed from those in Paris. - Political Emblems presented to His Eminence. Paris, 1649, 7 pages. MOREAU 1212. A counterfeit of *The Secret Whispered into the Ear of a Servant of Mazarin to Mazarin*, etc.
