Leone Allacci publishes here, as an appendix to the Commentarius in Hexaemeron of Ps.

Provenance: The arms of Charles Le Goux de La Berchère, chaplain to Louis XIV, he was bishop of Lavaur, then Archbishop of Albi, and finally Archbishop of Narbonne. A scholar, Charles Le Goux de La Berchère had built up a splendid library which he bequeathed to the Jesuits at the request of Father Jacques Vanière, but this testamentary provision was challenged in 1730 before the Conseil d'Etat by the heirs of the prelate, and they won the case. The library was then sold to the archbishop of Narbonne, René François de Beauvau du Rivau, successor to Charles Le Goux de La Berchère. On his death, it was acquired by Cardinal Étienne-Charles de Loménie de Brienne, who donated it to the public library of Toulouse, which he had created in 1782. Some of these books are now kept at the University Library of Toulouse.
