'Recueil des sepultures, tombeaux et inscriptions qui sont dans toutes les eglises abbayes et monasteres de la ville et fauxbourgs de Paris ... 1645'
'Recueil des sepultures, tombeaux et inscriptions qui sont dans toutes les eglises abbayes et monasteres de la ville et fauxbourgs de Paris ... 1645', the first four volumes of a set of thirteen. Each volume has a list of the churches represented in it (about 75 in all), and there are many coats of arms in trick.
An index of names in the four volumes is in MS. French b. 2/3 at p. 407. The epitaphs at the cathedral of Notre-Dame occupy pp. 3-114 of MS. French b. 2/4. Defaced bookplates are in all the volumes, and a defaced note of ownership (?) at p. iii of MS. French b. 2/3. An epitaph in i. p. 234 refers to a death in 1681.
