Siège, & Primat des Gaules Belgiques. Represented by the Demoiselles pensionnaires de l'Abbaye de Marquette. Lille, Jean-Baptiste Henry, [circa 1750]. Small in-4° : [8] pp. (Rousseurs). Binding. 19th-century garnet half-chagrin, gilt title throughout (spine unified, faded). Finial to title, 1 woodcut headband. Antique handwritten note to title indicating performance on June 12, 1751. This Lille printing does not appear in the BnF catalog, nor in the CCfr, nor in the BM of Lille; it seems that another piece was to follow Cénie, but we have not been able to verify this.
