Quick Summary

The Trésor des chartes was a catalog of royal archives in France. Pierre Dupuy, a historian and librarian to King Louis XIV, was the first to create this catalog. He and his brother Jacques also managed the king's library. Dupuy's scholarly works primarily focused on legal matters and historical documentation, including treatises on the rights of the Gallican Church and the conflict between Pope Boniface VIII and King Philip IV of France regarding the divine right of kings.1
