Satyre menipée de la vertu du Catholicon d'Espagne et de la tenüe des Estats de Paris à laquelle est adjouste un discours sur l'interprétation du mot HIGUIERO D'INFERNO,& qui en est l'autheur. Plus le regret sur la mort de l'Asne ligueur d'une Damoiselle, qui mourut durant le siège de Paris. Avec des remarques & explications des endroits difficiles. Ratisbonne, Kerner [Bruxelles, Foppens], 1664. In-16, blond calf, smooth ornate spine, gilt motif framing the boards, filleted edges, inner lace (19th c. binding). With 3 plates, one of which folds out: "La procession de la Ligue", the Spanish and Lorrain charlatans. Edition from the Elzevier collection. The only surviving political book on the subject to be considered a masterpiece of our literature. Directed against the Leagues and Spanish activities, it is one of the many essays and pamphlets that immediately inspired this page of the Franco-French and Franco-Spanish wars.
