Nicolas Camusat, canon of Troyes cathedral, was born in Troyes in 1575 and died there in 1665. He had saved from imminent loss several manuscripts sold to a papermaker as useless by a prior of the Jacobins of Troyes, who was unaware of their price. Once in possession of these historical treasures, he set about publishing them. (Socard, Hommes célèbres de l'Aube p. 74). A fine copy.
