Dimensions: 95 x 135 mmCalligraphic manuscript in the taste of the works of Nicolas Jarry and his emulators for "Mademoiselle de La Ramisse" in Auxonne (Burgundy, Côte d'Or) . The de la Ramisse family is intimately linked to the town of Auxonne: it provides several aldermen (mayors, stewards of Burgundy), including Claude de la Ramisse, mayor of Auxonne (1617) "who loved his constituents like a monkey (the love of the guenon for his young is proverbial) and administered them like a man". A dedication sheet precedes the title: it bears the county coat of arms of the dedicatee (to the bird with a laurel branch in its beak), placed in a medallion supported by a bird (wood pigeon) bearing the dedication formula: "To Mademoiselle de la Ramisse in Auxonne. 1723 ». At the bottom of p. 62 we find the number M.W. being certainly the signature of the unidentified calligrapher. The number A.V., at the bottom of the title, remains undetermined.
