ASSIER de VALENCHES (P. d'). Les fiefs du Forez d'après le manuscrit inédit de M. Sonyer du Lac, premier avocat du Roy au siège domanial de Montbrison, Ressort et Comte de Forez en 1788, avec notes, cartes et une table raisonnée des noms de lieux et des personnes. Lyon, Perrin, 1858. In-4°, brown half-chagrin, spine ribbed, gilt head (G. Guétant). A very luxurious publication printed by Louis Perrin, not put on the market and printed at 125 copies to be offered to the author's friends. D'Assier de Valenches, not content with enriching this collection with notes that make known the names of the new owners of the fiefs, has completed the work with a map of Forez according to Robert, an alphabetical table of the names of the fiefs and a genealogical and historical table of the Counts of Forez with their alliances. "Masterpiece of execution from the typographical point of view: Beautiful tinted laid paper, Roman and italic august characters, ornamented letters and headbands are conceived with an elegant richness, and are for the most part in the purest taste of the Renaissance" (Boitel in RDL de 1859, p. 68). Copy offered to Mr. Le Marquis de Chabannes, for the library of the Château de la Bâtie en Dombes, with autograph dispatch. Beautiful copy bound by G. Guétant.
