Handwritten document on the testimonies of the apparition of an Angel to Thomas-Ignace MARTIN, on January 15, in the village of Gallardon, near CHARTRES. This manuscript describes the 25 apparitions of Archangel Rafael to this ploughman at the beginning of 1816. The archangel asks him to warn the King that he is in danger. Mention is made of a meeting with Louis XVIII, whom he asks to leave the throne to its rightful owner. At Doctor Pinel's request, Martin is taken to Charenton, where he is interrogated by Royer-Collard. Our document gives a true copy of the testimonies of the village priest and mayor to the questions asked by Royer-Collard about the family and person of Jacques-Ignace Martin. The apparitions and his meeting with the king were published in 1828. The text of our document is not a copy of the work, but an original testimony. Notebook with mute cover, 20 by 26 cm. 16 pages, with the testimony of a witness, then the 4 pages of questions asked by Royer-Collard, chief physician at the royal house in Charenton. A few light stains, otherwise good condition. Very legible handwriting.
