Very rare edition printed the centenary year of the "Pragmatic Sanction
of Bourges" made in 1438
by King Charles VII, with the extensive commentary of Cosmie Guymier,
effectively declaring administrative independence from Rome for the
French Catholic Church. Later Popes tried to have the sanction
repealed, and eventually, in 1516, the Concordat of Bologna largely
superceded it. See Baudrier, BIBLIOG. LYONNAISE X p. 206. Not in BL
