Description
GALLAND (Auguste). Research of the estate of the Bourbon branch, particularly of the second branch of the title of Vandosme, from which the present reigning King is descended. With an observation of the genealogy and posterity of St. Louis. Le tout recueilly sur les originaux par Mre Auguste Galland con[seill]er du Roy en ses conseils, et procureur g[énér]al du Domaine de Navarre. Sl, sd [1640]. In-folio of (110) ff. covered with a medium, legible, very airy handwriting (about 20-25 lines per page), brown basane, spine ornamented, edges speckled with red (period binding). A rather important lack of leather in one corner, but a good copy. Copy of one of the many manuscripts written by Auguste Galland (1572-1641), son of an officer of the house of Navarre, attorney general of the domain of Navarre from 1623. Devoted to the royal cause until his death, he left a large number of manuscript studies on royal rights, far more numerous than what has been printed. The Bourbon-Vendôme, a younger branch descended from Louis I, Count of Vendôme (died 1446), became the eldest branch of the Bourbons on the death of Charles III de Bourbon-Montpensier (the Constable of Bourbon, in 1523). It had acquired the kingdom of Navarre through the marriage of Antoine de Vendôme to Jeanne III d'Albert in 1548, and is the stem from which Henri IV emerged (Saffroy I, 11375 for a manuscript with the same title, preserved in the Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève, but presenting 208 ff. for the same format). In the following, in the same hand, we find: Traicté de la charge de Grand Maistre de l'artillerie de France. Its origin, establishment, erection in office of the Crown, functions and usurpations. Sl, 1645, [37] ff, [2] ff. blank. The work does not appear among the lists of Galland's manuscripts, and does not correspond to any known printed work.
