^{page 6 note b} If the reader desires to see all the historical authorities relating to this article of French antiquity, he should read a learned tract by M. Bonamy, in the 29th volume of the Memoirs of the Academy of Inscriptions, p. 268, to which is annexed a long list of quotations from their publick acts, tending to prove that the title Christianissimus has been often given to the Kings of France from the time of Pepin; and generally and constantly from the time of Lewis the Fat. It is not supposed to have been derived from any positive law or papal Bull. The note (B) at the end of this essay shews instances in which the ancient Kings of England have received it likewise. Selden in treating of this subject in his Titles of Honour, Part 1, chap. v. considers it as originally intended by the Popes to mark an exclusion of paganism or Judaism, which that of Most Catholick in Spain signified against heresy; of which he refers to very ancient examples, even before the Saracen invasion.
