Jean-Baptiste COLBERT (1619-1683) Autograph Apostille of 9 lines in the margin of a L.A.S. from Étienne BALUZE, Paris August 17, 1669; 1 page in-4. Scholar Étienne Baluze (1630-1718), Colbert's librarian, sends the minister "ce que l'assemblée du clergé de 1656 fait pour l'establissement des Seminaires"... In the margin, Colbert notes: "It is necessary to examine whether there is a deliberation of the assembly in conformity with this printed document. In addition to this, I am very happy to know what the Council of Tours determined about sacraments, together with the Council of Milan".
