Edition given by the poet Georges de Scudéry (the first in 1632), who signs the preface and Le Tombeau de Théophile. Brunet V-795: "The life of Théophile de Viau (1590-1626) holds the attention because of the thirst of freedom which it reveals, of the refusal to support the constraint and the spirit of revolt which it denotes. For licentious poems Théophile de Viau is imprisoned at the Châtelet in the cell of Ravaillac. He waits from 1623 to 1625 for the instruction of his trial, while his work is examined for evidence of his harvest against the moral order. Condemned in 1625 to be banished from Paris, he died the following year broken by his imprisonment ". - MARTIAL. M. Val Martialis, ex Museo Petri Scriverii.
