Cardinal De Bonzi, Signed Autograph Letter, Narbonne 1690

Cardinal de bonzi, signed autograph letter, narbonne 1690. Beautiful calligraphy of a prominent character of the court of louis xiv whose Saint Simon drew up a beautiful portrait. "It was a small, trapuous man, who saw a very beautiful face, to whom the age saw great remains, with the most beautiful black eyes, the most telling, the most piercing, the brightest, and the most pleasant look, the most noble and the most spiritual I have ever seen to anyone; a lot of spirit, sweetness, politeness, graces, goodness, magnificence, with a united air and charming manners; superior to his dignity, always to his affairs, always ready to compel; a lot of address, finesse, flexibility without fripuncy, without lies and without lowness, much grace and ease to speak. His business, to what I heard to all that has lived with him, was delicious, his conversation never sought after and always charming; familiar with dignity, always open, never swollen with his jobs or his favor. With these qualities and a very fair discernment, it is not surprising that he was loved in the court and in foreign countries.
