[AVAUX (Claude de Mesmes d')]. Extraits des lettres, actes, et mémoires envoyés, ou reçeus par Monsieur le Comte d'Avaux, plénipotentiaire ambassadeur de France aux conférences pour la paix de Westphalie, qui se sont trouvés dans le cabinet de Monseigneur de Mesmes président à mortier, ou dans la bibliothèque de feu Mr. Colbert. [MANUSCRIT] sl, sd. Fort vol. in-folio of [612] pp. n. ch., covered with a fine and very legible handwriting (about 40 lines per page), [7] blank ff., stiff vellum, red speckled edges, handwritten title on spine (period binding). Vellum a little stained, but a good copy. Very important register of correspondence concerning the most important period in the life of Claude de Mesmes, comte d'Avaux (1595-1650). It was collated from items held in the library of his nephew Jean-Jacques de Mesmes (1640-88) and in the cabinet of Colbert, who must have inherited them from Mazarin. The young maître des requêtes' diplomatic career began in 1627 with an extraordinary embassy to Venice, but it was on September 20, 1643, that he was sent for the second time to The Hague, to negotiate the general peace that culminated in the so-called Treaties of Westphalia in 1648, in the company of Abel Servien and the Duc de Longueville. This collection begins precisely with the year 1643, and practically with the insertion of these mission letters. It ends shortly after the ambassador's disgrace, when he was recalled by Mazarin on March 13, 1648 and exiled to his homeland, following his long and bitter rivalry with Abel Servien, which had damaged both the mission itself and relations with foreign powers, as well as Mazarin's own position. The collection does not reproduce the quoted documents in their entirety, but merely summarizes their contents. This manuscript remains an essential tool for understanding Mazarin's diplomacy.
