La Reolle, Labottière, 1684 (Followed by) general collection of the edicts, declarations of Louis the Great. Arrests of the Council, and of all the sovereign Courts of the Kingdom, which have been given against those of the so-called Reformed religion, since the Edict of Nantes, up to the present time with the records of the Parliament of Guyenne. La Reolle, Labottière, 1684. 2 works in one volume in-4. Set of 217 pieces (120 + 97) of which about fifty on Protestantism. Antique honey soft vellum, royal arms on the title page cut out (probably by a former Protestant owner of the work). Rare collection printed in La Réole. Indeed, following the revolt of 1675 against the stamped paper, the parliament of Bordeaux was exiled to La Réole from 1678 to 1690. The first collection contains pieces on the subjects of finance, money, religion (Regale, Declaration of the Clergy of France of 1682), civil and criminal justice, offices, the navy, hunting, waters and forests, etc. The second collection contains pieces for the convenience of Catholics and the so-called Reformed. This series of decisions shows the restrictions brought to the Edict of Nantes under Louis XIII and Louis XIV and the march towards its revocation. Half of the texts concern Protestantism. Bound afterwards, an occasional "Triomphe de l'Église en la ville de S. Jean d'Angely ou la relation véritable de ce qui s'est passé à la conversion générale des prétendus réformés de cette ville", as well as 10 different acts in sheets, most of them published in La Réole, including "L'édit de Fontainebleau portant révocation de l'édit de Nantes.
