AUBUSSON DE LA FEUILLADE (Georges d'). Defense of the right of Marie-Thérèse d'Austriche, Queen of France to the succession of the Spanish crowns. P., Mabre-Cramoisy, 1674; in-4. XI-125pp. Brown calf, spine ornamented, fawn title-piece. Hinges faded, hinges partially split. A fine copy despite the binding's flaws, with large margins and decorated with the printer's mark, two bands, two initials, two large vignettes and two culs-de-lampe, engraved in intaglio. First edition, there exists at the same date an edition in-12. Maria Theresa of Austria was infanta of Spain, eldest daughter of Philip IV of Spain and wife of Louis XIV. After the death of Philip IV in 1665, the king of France made claims, in the name of his wife, to the succession of the Spanish throne, even though the queen of France had renounced her rights by marriage contract. This led to the "War of Devolution" which ended in 1668, but which was to resume with the "War of Flanders" (1672-1678). Expert : Michel Thevenet
