Original edition; two volumes bound into one volume (complete)
A magistrate and French memoirist, Guy Joly, counselor at the Châtelet of Paris, was notably close to Cardinal de Retz, with whom he shared commitments and political intrigues during the Fronde. Collaborator and confidant of the latter, he actively participated in the political events that stirred Paris during Louis XIV’s minority.
