In-8°, LII-236 & 73 pp., half-leather binding, hinges partially split, wear on covers, some moisture traces on 3 leaves & remarkable hand-written restorations of 4 leaves entirely rewritten in printing style, including the title page. The Brief History is followed by a Notice in which Beziers added two documents on Bayeux history.

The second is the ecclesiastical register known as the Livre Pelut, the oldest register of the Bayeux diocese.
