Provence.
"Sous ses premiers et plus anciens maitres depuis la création du monde jusqu'a á ce qu'elle ait este soumise à la domination des Romains durant l'espace de 3,927 ans."
This is a mere preliminary, a slight introduction to the body of the work.
The next Book treats of the country under the Romans during 591 years, from 125 b.c. to 466 a.d. This period is divided into three sections.
- I. Provence under the Republic.
- II. Provence under the Pagan Emperors.
- III. Provence under the Christian Emperors
until the arrival of the Burgundians and Visigoths.
Then comes Provence under the first barbarian kings, Burgundian and Visigoth.
The period of the Frankish kings is again divided into Sections (and let no one who has not tackled le Sieur Honoré think lightly of a Section!)
