[Grand Conseil (Affaire du, 1755-1756)]. Collection of handwritten and printed documents. Paris, 1755-1757. In-4, contemporary tan calf, spine with 5 ornate nerves, brown calf title-piece, red edges, the boards covered with modern black cloth (uncovered headpieces, modern paper on the back covers, moderate russetting). Important set illustrating the conflict between Louis XV and the parliaments, after the king imposed, in October 1755, that some of his decisions escape the validation of the provincial authorities. The volume consists of printed documents (in total about 350 pages: declarations of the king, rulings of the Grand Conseil, remonstrances, etc.), and 30 handwritten leaves at the time, most of which are copies of rulings, letters and other publications. At the end of the volume are several pieces, both printed and handwritten, concerning the parliament of Normandy.
