I just found this, in the records of Biblioth=E8que nationale de
France. Charte documentaire des acquisitions.
These are manuscripts received in stead of death duties, the Countess
must have had quite a collection of manuscripts:
"Les dations ont enrichi considerablement les collections : Genevi=E8ve
Thibault de Chambure en 1978
(manuscrits, recueils, editions des XVIe au XVIIIe si=E8cles), la
succession Debussy-de Tinan, les manuscrits
d'Henri Sauguet, la dation Francis Poulenc en 1998, la dation Andre
Jolivet en 2002."
"Le Departement acquiert les livres de theorie musicale et les livres
sur la musique. L'objectif est de completer
les editions publiees en France, mais aussi de combler certaines
lacunes d'editions etrang=E8res selectionnees, en
raison de l'absence d'acquisitions etrang=E8res avant la creation du
Departement (Allemagne, Italie, annees
1910-1940). Par exemple dans l'une des ventes de la collection de
Chambure en 1995 : Stefano Pesori,
Toccate de chitarriglia, Verona, ca 1650, Roland de Lassus, Jeremiae
prophetae..., Paris, 1586, Giovanni Battista
Bassani, La sirene amorosa, Venise, 1699 et des symphonies
concertantes de Guenin et Breval =E0 la vente
Mongredien en 1997."

So the family paid off some death duties by giving manuscripts, etc
to the Bibliot=E8que Nationale.
Probably Arthur had access to these through the Countess.
Presumably, her family did not have the same piorities as she did.
