Verb

publier

1. (transitive) publish
   • 1577, Discours du sainct sacrement de mariage, folio 115v:

     Ie remarque en ceſte belle ordonnance trois choſes bien ſeantes à nos Papinians. [...] La troiſieſme, puis qu’ils veulent que qui eſpouſe vne Catholique, ce ſoit à la charge qu’elle renonce à la meſſe, ſi l’vn de ceux qui fera publier ſes bãs eſt catholique, ne ſera il pas publicateur de ſon inceſte, & nullité de cõtracts incertains endroits, ſ’ils eſpouſent au miniſtre, de façõ que chacun ſera ſcandaliſé contre leur ordonnance qui le deffend tant de fois en choſe de moindre calibre ?

     I observe in this fine ordinance three things well suited to our Papinians. [...] The third: since they require that whoever marries a Catholic [woman] do so on the condition that she renounce the Mass, if one of those whose banns are to be published is a Catholic, will not he who publishes his banns be the publisher of his incest and of the nullity of the marriage contract, in certain places, if they marry before the minister, in such a way that everyone will be scandalized by their ordinance, which so often forbids things of lesser consequence?
