Put in order in eight Apresdinées, where they have made their assemblies, by a secretary who has all ouy and written. Troyes, Nicolas Oudot, (undated, circa 1630?). Petit in-8 of 72 unencrypted leaves (A-I 8), lavaliere morocco, large inner gilded lace, gilded edges (L. Petitot).
Precious document of the bourgeois manners of the reign of Louis XIII. It is the truest, the most spiritual, the most curious book of its kind. The caquets of the woman who gave birth, divided into eight parts, contain the observations of the author, hidden in the room of the future mother. He listens to the women who have come to keep company with the newborn and who caricature through the events of the day and the scandals, the layers of society. Brunet indicates 2 preliminary unencrypted pages (?). Fine paper restorations in the margins of a few pages. Beautiful copy bound by Lucien Edouard Petitot, bookbinder of the National Library from 1875 to 1927. (Brunet IV, 1171) (Gay III, 982).
