Two of the speeches are dedication copies, the first signed by Malézieu to Père Jean Hardouin (1646 1729), the Jesuit librarian of Louis XIV, and the second signed by De Sacy to Michel Le Tellier (1643 1719), the confessor of Louis XIV and the spiritus movens behind the revocation of the edict of Nantes. An additional reason of interest is the binding, whose spine incorporates the monogram of the superintendent Fouquet.
