Jules JANIN (1804-1874). Autograph manuscript signed, Les Quatrains du Seigneur de Pybrac; 18 oblong pages small in-4, filled with a small tight handwriting. Long study, with erasures and corrections, on the Quatrains of Guy du Faur, seigneur de Pibrac (1529-1584), whose first edition is of 1574, and from which Janin makes numerous quotations. We quote the beginning: "In a desolate site, in the first days of the seventeenth century, one could see surrounded by ditches filled with greenish and unhealthy water the unpleasant castle of Neuillant. It was already a feudal hovel and if ever some warlike authority had resided in this place, nothing remained which attested the past power, and the greatness of former times "... 2 L.A.S are attached, to Michel Lévy about Barnave (1831), and to Charles Rabou asking him to speak about his new novel Le Chemin de traverse (1836)
