HRC 230 Filesac, Jean, France, Manuscript, not before 1603 and not after 1650, Du loup garou. 1 volume, 34 leaves, 27 cm (fol.). Written in French in early hand. Manuscript corrections in different hand throughout; leaf 31 is blank and precedes another leaf of manuscript in a different hand (possibly same hand as corrections). Leaf 1 is labelled 'quarante neuf', the last leaf is labelled 'cinquante'. Text represented by the manuscript is included as part of Tableau de l'inconstance des mauvais anges et démons by Pierre de Lancre, Book 4, Discourse 3. An early 18th-century version of this text, with some differences, appears in Bibliothèque nationale de France manuscript, MS Français 13346, fols. 291v-323r. The last leaf is a remonstrance against Viscount D'Aubeterre. Binding: modern binding; cover title: 'Sobre la licantropía'. Some leaves have been repaired, affecting text. Place of production conjectured from where trial of Jean Grenier took place and date of production based on when the trial took place and an evaluation of the handwriting and paper. Provenance: Purchase (17-012-07-P). Use: Unrestricted, for either reading room or classroom use. Facsimile: Complete digital facsimile available.
