Hulpeau in Le Jey Royal de la Paume, 1632, (reprinted in 1659 in La Maison Rustique). It is described by Noel & Clark as "one of the most important links between past and modern tennis," and by Mars as "one of the most valuable works available on the early history of tennis. At the time of its publication this book contained the most detailed descriptions available on every aspect of the game. The French first edition contains five excellent folio plates which have appeared in many later works on tennis.
