Contribution à l'hystoire de la ville et du parlement de Tholose soubs les règnes de Loys XI et Charles VIII - biographie de maistre Guillaume Brun, conseiller et médecin du Roy de France - Juge Mage de Toulouse. (REVISION DE LA THESE DE 1972)
A COMPTE D'AUTEUR. 1985. In-4 Carré. En feuillets. Bon état. Couv. convenable. Dos satisfaisant. Intérieur frais. II + 158 pages dactylographiées accompagnées d'un courrier manuscrit signé par l'auteur. 3 PHOTOS DISPONIBLES. NOTA : « Guillaume Brun est né à Toulouse en 1430 dans une riche famille de commerçants; il est docteur en droit à 19 ans et fait médecine dans la foulée. Il fait ses premiers pas dans la magistrature à Verdun-sur-Garonne où il est nommé juge en 1452. La charge ne lui fut pas très lourde, même s'il n'est rien de plus compliqué que les limites et l'organisation administrative des « jugeries » de Rivière et de Verdun. Son parcours l'amènera tout à la fois à Toulouse où il fut Capitoul, à Montpellier et à la cour, mais il gardera son domicile à Verdun, malgré les nombreuses pressions. Dans sa jeunesse, il a l'occasion de rencontrer le Dauphin Louis, le futur Louis XI dont il sera l'un des médecins » (Michel Suspène) / BURLATS-BRUN PIERRE : Première édition de cette étude, la thèse complète sera publiée en 1972 à Montpellier sous le titre : "Contribution à l'hystoire de la ville et du parlement de Tholose soubs les règnes de Loys XI et Charles VIII, biographie de maistre Guillaume Brun, conseiller et médecin du Roy de France"

Burnet, Gilbert
The Memoirs of the Lives and Actions of James and William Dukes of Hamilton
<p><em><strong>Burnet Gilbert. 1643-1715 The Memoirs of the Lives and Actions of James and William Dukes of Hamilton and Castleherald & c. In which an Account is given of the Rise and Progress of the Civil Wars of Scotland with other Great Transactions both in England and Germany from the Year 1625 to the Year 1652. Together with many Letters Instructions and other Papers Written by King Charles the I. Never before published all drawn out of or Copied from the Originals. London Printed by J. Grover for R. Royston Bookseller to the Kings Most Excellent Majesty 1677. Folio 12 x 7.5 in. First edition. 3 a6 B-Zz Aa-Zz4 Aaa-Lll4.</strong> <strong>Contains both portraits where other volumes are lacking. Also contains portrait of King Charles I praying and with much symbolism surrounding him of his divine rights. "Burnet's</strong></em> vacations were spent chiefly in Hamilton where the duchess engaged him in putting in order all the papers relating to her father's and uncle's political careers. Lauderdale who had his own reasons for anxiety as to the light which might be cast upon transactions in which he had himself been engaged no sooner heard of this than he sent for Burnet to come to court that he might give him all the informa¬tion in his power. The 'Memoirs of the Dukes of Hamilton' Burnet's first historical work was published in 1676 actually 1677. His investigations led in a curious way to a reconciliation between Hamilton and the court. Among the papers which he ex¬amined were found undoubted claims of the family upon the crown for satisfaction of which Hamilton consented to concur in the court measures. This was 1671". DNB In Burnet's Preface to "Memoirs" he states one of the reasons for undertak¬ing this work saying "And particularly I wondered to find James Duke of Hamilton represented to the World with such foul and base Characters as if he had been a Monster both for Ingratitude and Treachery though he had laid down his Life for the King and involved his Estate in vast Debts for His Service. It seemed to me the great¬est Injustice in the world that one who served his Prince and his Country so long and so faithfully and sealed all with his blood should not only be deprived of the Honour due to his Memory but that a company of ignorant and impudent Slanders should do what they could to attaint his Blood and Family by the black Imputations they have cast on him and that this should pass current without any Vindications."
