RACINE Jean (1639-1699). P.S. "Racine", December 11, 1669; oblong vellum in-8 partly printed (engraved portrait enclosed). Rare receipt signed by Racine. "Jean Racyne Prieur du Prieuré de Ste Petronille de l'Espinay" acknowledges having received 47 livres 13 sols for a quarter of an annuity on gabelles constituted on February 4, 1555.
