Copies of parish deeds from churches in St. Petersburg and Moscow. As part of his project for a book on French artists in Russia, Denis Roche commissioned Abbé René MACAULT (1866-1930), director of the French hospital, to copy parish deeds from St. Petersburg's International Roman Catholic Church, St. Catherine's; Jean Croizier, sexton of St. Petersburg's Reformed Church; and St. Louis Church in Moscow. Five copy files, around 500 pages in French or Latin. Among the people concerned are Rastrelli, Charlemagne-Baudet and others. Seven letters from Abbé Macault to Denis Roche 1911-1914 and one to N. I. Limont-Ivanova (1911) with drafts of letters from D. Roche. A letter from J. Crozier in 1911. Provenance: Archives of Denis Roche. [Russian art]
