56I found this MS. in the library at Berne ( Histoire Helvétique , v. 12). It is entitled, Histoire de la Ville de Genève , by J. Bonivard. The history is not by Bonivard: it was copied at Berne in 1705 from an old MS. in the possession of Ami Favre, first syndic. Although not known at Geneva, it contains many important circumstances that Spon and Gautier have omitted either from timidity or by order, says Haller. I shall call it the Berne MS. v. 12.
