This article appears in Volume V07, Page 217 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COR-CRE
COSNE , a town of central France,
capital
  of an arrondissement in the department of Nievre, on the right bank of the Loire at its junction with the Nohain, 37 M. N.N.W. of
Nevers
  by the Paris-Lyon railway. Pop. (1906) town, 5750; commune, 8437. Two suspension bridges unite it to the left bank of the Loire. The
church
  of St Aignan is a building of the 12th
century
 , restored in the 16th and 18th centuries; the only portions in the Romanesque style are the
apse
  and the north-west portal. It formerly belonged to a
Benedictine
  priory depending on the abbey of La Charite (Nievre). The manufacture of files, flour-milling and tanning are carried on in the town which has a subprefecture, a tribunal of first instance and a communal college. Cosne is mentioned in the Antonine Itinerary under the name of Condate, but it was not till the middle ages that it rose into importance as a military post. In the 12th
century
  the
bishop
  of Auxerre and the
count
  of
Nevers
  agreed to a division of the supremacy over the town and its territory.
