[2R4 signed '2S4']; 2V8 blank.Provenance: The Marquis de Saporta was an 18th-century French noble known for his personal bookplate, which frequently appears as a mark of provenance in rare antiquarian and classical texts.Second provenance:.Fitzroy, Fitzcharles, and Fitzjames were the names bestowed by the two sons of King Charles I of England upon their illegitimate offspring. This tradition of using the prefix *Fitz*?which translates as "son of"?for English royal bastards continued under the Hanoverian dynasty: William IV, uncle to Queen Victoria, was himself the progenitor of numerous Fitzclarences.James Fitzjames (1670-1734), the fruit of the union between James II Stuart and Arabella Churchill, was created Duke of Berwick by his father in 1687. Appointed a Marshal of France in 1706, he was also granted the title of Duke of Fitz-James within the French peerage by Louis XIV in 1710. His eldest son founded the Spanish branch of the Dukes of Berwick?a line that, under the name Fitz-James Stuart, today holds several Grandeeships of Spain, including that of Duke of Alba. His younger son founded the French branch of the Dukes of Fitz-James, a line that distinguished itself over seven generations until its extinction in the mid-20th century.Fitzroy, Fitzcharles et Fitzjames furent les noms donnés par les deux fils du roi Charles Ier d'Angleterre à leur descendance illégitime. Cette tradition du préfixe Fitz pour les bâtards royaux anglais, qui se traduit par « fils de», se poursuivra sous la dynastie des Hanovre : Guillaume IV, oncle de la reine Victoria, fut en son temps l'auteur de nombreux Fitzclarence ?James Fitzjames (1670-1734) fruit des amours de Jacques II Stuart et d'Arabella Churchill, fut titré par son père duc de Berwick en 1687. Maréchal de France en 1706, il reçut également de Louis XIV le titre de duc de Fitz-James dans la pairie française en 1710. Son fils ainé est l'auteur de la branche espagnole des ducs de Berwick, qui sous le nom de Fitz-James Stuart, cumule aujourd'hui plusieurs grandesses d'Espagne, dont celle de duc d'Albe. Son fils cadet est l'auteur de la branche française des ducs de Fitz-James, qui s'illustra pendant sept générations, jusqu'à son extinction au milieu du XXe siècle.
