Descripción

Three volumes, 4to; contemporary red morocco, spines gilt with raised bands, labels with gilt lettering, two volumes with a gilt stamped ornamental center piece on both sides, all three with a floral ornament in the corners, gilt borders (two volumes) and gilt double fillet (one volume), two volumes with gilt edges, joints of two volumes rubbed, extremities shaved; in volume III the text is printed in folio and has been folded and bound in crosswise; a fine set. Very interesting and important legal document: these pieces deal with the trial of the Duc de Bethune and J.-E. Dat against the Marquis de Becelaer with regard to the heritage of Mademoiselle de Melun. The inheritance in question came from Mademoiselle de Risbourg who had made up a will on October 31, 1746, which she changed on November 4, 1746. The Duc de Bethune, J.-E. Dat and Mademoiselle de Melun oppose this change and claim that the original will as drafted on October 31 is the valid one and that the Marquis de Becelaer has manipulated Mademoiselle de Risbourg into changing her will shortly thereafter. All mentioned parties were heirs in both versions of the will: what changed however was what each of them received. The manuscript 'Extrait des registres de la Cour du Parlement' text at the end of volume 3 rules in favour of the defendant, the Marquis de Becelaer. The third volume has a particular feature: the first and third texts are printed on small folio sized paper and have been bound sideways and folded, to fit the binding. N° de ref. del artículo 3686
