J. de Sandrart, a large copper-engraved vignette of the royal arms at the head of the text, and woodcut figures of arms, initials, headbands, and endpapers in the text. It comprises 54 + 103 + 3 genealogical tables partly included in the pagination; the last part, of [8] leaves and including 3 tables, concerns the families of Clermont-Gallerande and Memmi; it is preceded by a particular title page dated 1688.
Provenance: old armorial stamp on the title; handwritten bookplate on one endpaper of Georges de Pimodan (1822-1860), a French legitimist officer in the service of Austria and the Papal States.
(Saffroy, III, 34125).
