Nombre de pages: 5380The Almanach de la Cour, Seconde Édition, is composed of two sections. The first presents the royal and princely households at the court of Versailles, provides notices concerning the functions and benefits of the offices and lists the officers and employees. The second section provides an alphabetical list of the officers and employees, their birth and death dates, and titles, followed by their lodging at the court, their profits, pensions and fortunes as well as quotes from the anecdotal literature. The information is based almost entirely on archival and manuscript documentation.
