The Duc de Rohan was, after Coligny, the most admired, even heroic, of the Hugenot leaders in the struggle against the Catholic power in the French religious wars. Copied from the same source as the 1644 edition, but differing in some points from that of 1646. This MS is identical in content and layout to that in the BL
