The present work was the third attack on Jean Mabillon’s De re diplomatica (see Bib# 4103630/Fr# 1626 for the revised and corrected second edition) by the Jesuit Barthélemy Germon, who disputed the genuineness of some sources used in the Benedictine edition of the works of St. Hilary and St. Augustine. See Backer-Sommervogel, Bibliographie de la Compagnie de Jésus. Brussels & Paris, 1892, III, 3, c. 1354.
