AUROUX, N. 17th cent.
A. AVELINE _Sculp._
On the armorial ex-libris of Carolus de Brosses, Comes Tornaci, Baro Montis, etc., with the motto "_Homunculi quanti sunt_." 18th cent.
M. Poulet-Mala.s.sis devotes considerable s.p.a.ce to this very little man--Charles de Brosses--and his quarrel with Voltaire. De Brosses had two other armorial book-plates engraved by Durand, from which the unfortunate motto was omitted.
Charles de Brosses, Comte de Tournay, was born in Dijon in 1709, and died in Paris in 1777. He was a true bibliophile, and his books were sumptuously bound in morocco stamped with his arms--_azure three trefoils or_.
They were sold in Dijon in 1778. See an ill.u.s.trated article on his ex-libris in "Les Archives de la Societe Francaise," Jany., 1896.
