Many learned men and friends of Baluze considered him so dishonoured by it, that they broke off all relations with him, and this put the finishing touch to the confusion of this affair. On Thursday, the 7th of March, 1707, a strange event troubled the King, and filled the Court and the town with rumours.
As may be believed, this adventure made a great stir; but what cannot be believed so easily is, the conduct of the Messieurs Bouillon about fifteen months afterwards. At the time when the false document above referred to was discovered, Cardinal de Bouillon had commissioned Baluze, a man much given to genealogical studies, to write the history of the house of Auvergne.
Both come from the Colbert collection, and were placed on the shelves of that glorious Colbertine library by the Librarian Baluze whose name I can never pronounce without uncovering my head; for even in the century of the giants of erudition, Baluze astounds by his greatness.
