[MANUSCRIPT - ARMORIAL]. [Armorial des Consuls de Narbonne]. Narbonne, 1910. - Manuscript in-folio, 347 x 235 : (150 ff.). Marbled calf, Duseuil-style gilt decoration on boards, ornate spine, interior gilt roulette, gilt edges (imitation period binding). Remarkably accurate handwritten copy of the Armorial of the Consuls of Narbonne. The centerpiece of the manuscript holdings of the Médiathèque du Grand Narbonne, it provides an illustrated directory of the magistrates of Narbonne from 1523 to 1685, with hundreds of painted coats of arms. Produced at the end of the 17th century, this armorial "allows us to observe the families and professions that held a share of power in Narbonne during the 16th and 17th centuries. Among them are doctors of law and medicine, merchants and officers. Among them, one family reappears regularly: the De Cogomblis. A family of notables, it has nearly twenty-two mandates over the armorial period. We can therefore imagine that they had an influence as much within their social group as within the city itself. It should be noted that no consul is re-elected from one year to the next" (source: Blog Patrimonial de la Médiathèque du Grand Narbonne). As in the original, "the first illustrated coats of arms can only be seen from 1549 onwards; from 1674 to 1685, the coats of arms are no longer drawn, although a few sketches remain" (Idem). This copy was made in 1910 by Louis Duviviez for Louis Berthomieu, curator of the Musée de Narbonne, as indicated in the colophon: "I, the undersigned, certify that this copy, executed by Mr Louis Duviviez, professor of drawing at the college of the Archaeological Commission, for Mr Louis Berthomieu, curator of the Narbonne Museum, is absolutely in conformity with the original, which was part of the library of Mr Abbé Causse and is currently in the possession of Mr Bories, former notary and member of the Narbonne Archaeological Commission. Narbonne, November 12, 1910. L'Archiviste Bibliothécaire de la Ville de Narbonne". Beautiful copy bound in imitation of a 17th-century binding. Provenance: Louis Berthomieu (1870-1928).
