AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
1582 document in Old French, signed by the Magistrate President of the Parlement of Paris Molé and the seal, very beautiful, in embossed relief of the Parlement of Paris.
The Molé family is a French family of parliamentary nobility, originating from the Troyes region.
The social rise of the family begins in the 14th century, and its history ends in the mid-19th century, with the death of its last male representative, Mathieu Molé. Heir to a prosperous cloth trade since the mid-15th century, several of its members attained the most eminent magistracies: the Molé family notably provided France with a garde des Sceaux, several presidents of the council, and a minister.
Nicolas (1536-1586), advisor to the king and general financial inspector.
Beautiful letter written in Pau and dated October 24, 1781, from Monsieur De Lacaze, First President of the Parliament of Navarre located in Pau, to Count Gilles Germain Richard de Ruffey (October 10, 1706 – September 18, 1794). He was lord of Ruffey under Beaune, Vesvrotte, Trouhans, Martray, and Crilloire (in Anjou). He was also president of the Chamber of Accounts of Burgundy and of the Dijon Academy.
In this letter, Monsieur de Lacaze reaffirms his entire friendship to the Comte de Ruffey.
A very beautiful letter.
3 - Original handwritten copy of Queen Marie Antoinette's last letter, written on October 16, 1793, shortly before her execution.
Letter engraved by PIERRE PICQUET, the King's official engraver, commissioned by His Excellency for the engraving of copies distributed in the King's name.
In 1816, the new monarch Louis XVIII decided to publish it and requested that it be read in churches every October 16, the anniversary of the queen's death.
The letter presented is certainly one of those that have been read in churches.
An exceptional document
Very beautiful letter dated October 22, 1832, from Abbé Jauffret, certainly the Canon of Metz Cathedral, to the new and first Queen of the Belgians, Louise Marie Thérèse Charlotte Isabelle d'Orléans.
Louise Marie Thérèse Charlotte Isabelle d'Orléans, born on April 3, 1812, in Palermo (Sicily), was a French princess who became the first queen of the Belgians through her marriage on August 9, 1832, to King Leopold I of Belgium.
Abbé Jauffret writes a congratulatory letter to the new Queen of Belgium, whom he certainly knows very well. According to what he expresses in his letter full of affection for the Queen, he offers his service to her if she wishes.
Abbé Jauffret is certainly the author of several works, including 'The Imitation of Jesus Christ,' a new translation by Abbé Jauffret, canon of the Cathedral of Metz, with practices and prayers by Father Gonnelieu, reviewed and corrected, published in 1832.
A very beautiful original letter of 3 pages.
The photos clearly show the quality of the documents.
