Erratum
On pp. 451-452, the excerpt from the Edict of Nantes should read:
_Ne pourront les livres concernant ladite religion prétendue réformée
être réimprimés et vendus publiquement qu’ès villes et lieux où
l’exercice public de ladite religion est permis; et, pour les autres
livres qui seront imprimés ès autres villes, seront vus et visités
tant par nos officiers que théologiens, ainsi qu’il est porté par nos
ordonnances. Défendons très expressément l’impression, publication et
vente de tous livres, libelles et écrits diffamatoires, sous les peines
contenues en nos ordonnances, enjoignant à tous nos juges et officiers
d’y tenir la main._
