Couverture rigide. Condition: Bon. Charlotte de Rouvroy de Saint Simon (ca.1617-1672), religieuse janséniste, connue sous le nom de Charlotte de Saint Bernard, religieuse aux Annonciades des Dix-Vertus à Roye puis à Port-Royal-des-Champs, cousine du duc de Saint-Simon. L.A.S., 26 juin 1652, 8p in-4. Vraisemblablement à l'abbé Pierre Seguin (?-1672), prêtre de Saint Germain l'Auxerrois et aumonier de la reine, à propos de la piété de sa maman, Anne Akaria (?-1652), épouse du médecin Pierre Seguin (ca.1566-1648), issue elle-aussi d'une famille de médecin. Extraordinaire lettre sur la piété d'Anne Seguin, morte depuis peu, sans nul doute écrite à son fils Pierre. On est encore au début du jansénisme mais cette lettre montre déjà l'ascèse particulièrement développée de ces courants. On y apprend aussi que Notre-Dame-des-Lys, couvent janséniste, avait proposé à Anne de devenir religieuse là-bas mais elle refusa, voulant intégrer le monastère de Charlotte, vraisemblablement Port-Royal-des-Champs. On trouve notamment sa trace par la retranscription de ses interrogatoires de 1661 et 1664 dans L'Histoire des persécutions religieuses de Port-Royal (Villefranche, 1753, p.163-165 & 454-456). Cette lettre, vraiment exceptionnelle, est intéressante aussi car, quelques années plus tard, les Seguin ne seront pas proches des jansénistes, l'abbé Jérôme Seguin (1607-1655) ayant même publié des ouvrages contre les thèses jansénistes. Ce Jérôme semble être un des fils d'Anne. Curieusement, elle est enterrée le 23 octobre 1652 en l'église de Saint Germain l'Auxerrois, comme l'indique Emile Raunié, dans son Epitaphier du vieux Paris, reprenant un document de la BnF (Cabinet des titres, Pièces originales, vol.2674, dossier 59404, p.117) que nous avons consulté. Notre lettre prouve toutefois qu'elle était déjà morte le 26 juin. Il semble que les évènements de la Fronde ont empêché l'enterrement plus tôt. Une transcription complète de cette lettre est disponible sur simple demande. [557]. …
