    Posthumous edition prepared and published by Mesnage, a close acquaintance of Sarasin, who also moved in the literary circles of Mademoiselle de Scudéry, Scarron, and Pellisson. A rather uncommon author, Sarasin wrote two distinguished historical narratives in prose: *Histoire du siège de Dunkerque* (1649) and *Conspiration de Walstein* (1651), both in an elegant style. Among his poetry are *La pompe funèbre de Voiture*, the *Fragments épiques de Rollon conquérant*, *La Guerre espagnole*, and *La Défaite sur les boutz-rimés*. The edition also includes *Le discours de la tragédie* and numerous prose and verse pieces. Pellisson’s discourse on Sarasin’s works, found at the end of some copies, was not systematically included.
    A fine copy.
