Bel exemplaire sur papier fort aux armes et chiffre de Jacques-Auguste de Thou (1553-1617) célibataire dont on peut dater l'usage de 1579 à 1587, date de son premier mariage.

Ses descendants en firent dresser l'inventaire, en 25 gros volumes in-folio. La collection fut achetée par le marquis de Ménars, qui la vendit en bloc au cardinal de Rohan en 1706.
