Godenne, ‘Un plagiaire de Segrais au XVIIe siècle’, in: XVIIe siècle, (1968) 79, pp. 95-104.</span><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://catalyst.library.jhu.edu/permalink/01JHU_INST/1lu78g9/alma991007663819707861" rel="nofollow">Click here to view the Johns Hopkins University catalog record.</a></span></span></p>
