[Footnote 94: I have two editions of Joinville, the one
(Paris, 1668) most valuable for the observations of Ducange;
the other (Paris, au Louvre, 1761) most precious for the
pure and authentic text, a MS. of which has been recently
discovered. The last edition proves that the history of St.
Louis was finished A.D. 1309, without explaining, or even
admiring, the age of the author, which must have exceeded
ninety years, (Preface, p. x. Observations de Ducange, p.
17.)]
