It is printed in the Bulletin de la Soc. de l'hist. du prot. franç., iii.

But, in addition to the coins, Chassanée gravely tells us there was also a _church_ built by the _Franks_ at Chartres before the advent of Christ, in honor of the most blessed Virgin _parituræ_; "from which it is demonstrated that, if other Gentiles prophesied _in word_ concerning Christ, the Franks believed on him _in deed_, just as also the Greeks, who erected a temple to the unknown God."
