Les entrétiens fleuristes d'Arcas et de Damon. Calendrier ou Vie des Saints de tous les jours.

The 16 pp. at the end contain a contemporary [?] copy of 'Lettre pastorale de Monseigneur l'illustrissime et révérendissime Evêque et Comte de Chalons sur Saône au sujet des danses', dated from Fontainebleau 23 July 1666.
