This very interesting pamphlet is not written by Denis Simon de Marquemont, 1573-1626, Archbishop of Lyon, as noted in Lindsay and Neu. It is rather a reaction to a speech given by the Archbishop. The speech evidently concerned the reestablishment of the Catholic Church in Bearn. This anonymous author agrees that this reestablishment ought to take place. But, he warns that such an undertaking would not be easy in light of the history of the Bearn. The author details an interesting history - ecclesiastical and political - to demonstrate what he means. ; Electronic reproduction ; 15 p. ; 17 cm.
