Savaron dedicated the book to King Louis XIII "the sword of the world".Ad 2: Rare first edition of a curious treatise against the mania and dangers of dueling. This mania had grown so great that in the preceding 20 years about 8000 noblemen had been killed by their opponents on the dueling ground. Authorities and critics bemoaned the dueling mania in part because the de facto toleration of the practice seemed to concede that the nobility was above the law subject only to a code of conduct of its own.

Later he became a lieutenant general of the sénéchaussée in Avergne.With owner's inscription of J.P. Gautin including date 4 September 1610 at head of first title-page and a similar inscription shaved at head of second title-page; owner's initials "L.C. de T" in what appears to be a contemporary hand.
