GEORGE (Jacques). The crown of glory for the late Claude de La Chastre, marshal of France, woven by the working hands of good fortune, honor, virtue & eternity. In Paris, by C. Rigaud, 1615. In-4, [4] f., 188 p., [1] f. (privil), contemporary soft vellum, smooth spine, gilt fleurons and fillets, boards bordered by a double fillet with central medallion, all gilt, edges gilt (binding tired and stained, lower board and margins of last f. gnawed, light wetness on title and then at foot of pages). First edition of this panegyric in honor of Claude de La Châtre (1536-1614), governor of Berry, composed shortly after his death and dedicated to his son. This ruled copy may have been intended for the latter and kept by his descendants, if one believes the handwritten mention on the upper cover: "to Monsieur le Marquis de La Chastre Chev[alier Seign[eu]r du Plès en Berry près Issoudun"; and in the medallion: "De la Chastre 1764.
