ROULLIARD (Sébastian). Capitulaire auquel est traicté qu'un homme nay sans Testicules apparens, & qui ha neantmoins toutes les autres marques de virilité : est capable des oeuvres du mariage. Paris : Claude Morel, 1603. - 3 parts in one volume in-8, stiff parchment, smooth spine decorated with black fillets (19th-century binding). "Brunet, IV, 132. An unusual new edition of the rare and much sought-after plea that Sébastien Roulliard, a lawyer at the Parlement and the first historian of the native town of Melun, composed and delivered himself before commissioners of the Holy See, on behalf of the Baron d'Argenton, whom his wife, Magdelaine de la Châtre, accused of impotence. The work first appeared in 1600; this revised and enlarged edition is the third of the text, comprising 160 pages with a sonnet addressed to the reader at the end. Among the additions, in addition to a consultation of the Montpellier faculty in Latin, we find, printed separately and with their own pagination, two other texts by the author, entitled: "Synoptique ou Demonstration sommaire des principaux moyens du proces d'entre M. G. C. (Guillaume Chauveau) appelant Et M. M. (Marguerite Menant) sa femme intimée" and "Brachylogue ou Abbregé du proces de Iean Conte de Cruege, appellant du Baillif du hault païs d'Auvergne & Presidiaux d'Aurillac y establis : Contre Damoiselle Gabrielle du Faiet, veusve de feu Geraud de Cruege & consors intimez." These two texts are not found in the last edition of 1604. Spine soiled. Scattered foxing."
