Bongars wrote an abridgment of Justin s abridgment of the history of Trogus Pompeius under the title ''Justinus, Trogi Pompeii Historiarum Philippicarum epitoma de manuscriptis codicibus emendatior et prologis auctior'' (Paris, 1581). He collected the works of several French writers who as contemporaries described the crusades, and published them under the title ''Gesta Dei per Francos'' (Hanover, 1611). Another collection made by Bongars is the ''Rerum Hungaricarum scriptores varii'' (Frankfort, 1600). his ''Epistolae'' were published at Leiden lfl 1647, and a French translation at Paris in 1668-1670. Many of his papers are preserved in the library at Bern , to which they were presented in 1632, and a list of them was made in 1634. Other papers and copies of instructions are now in several libraries in Paris; and copies of other instructions are in the British Museum . See H. Hagen, ''Jacobus Bongarsius'' (Bern, 1874); L. Anquez, ''Henri IV et l'Allemagne'' (Paris, 1887). REFERENCES |
