Overview

Some 1450 songs and verses in a French cursive of about 1695. A number of poems are dated 1682-3, and some back to 1664. They are rather free excursions on the foibles of aristocrats and others in the public eye. Among the names figure Sully, Maintenon, T. Corneille; Mancini, etc. The music to which the airs fit is suggested often, as by Lully or the Italian comedians.

Dates: approximately 1695
