Description

Fine Binding, Leather Binding

In the original French, with the introduction and notes also in French. From the antiquarian library of Christopher Rowe. Christopher Rowe was a schoolmaster in Norwich and then in Bristol. Throughout his career he inspired many to love literature, history and music. He was a specialist on 17th century printer and bookseller, Humphrey Moseley and began his, unfortunately unfinished, PhD dissertation on him. With an introduction by Robert Kanters and notations by Jean Marchand. This work begins with a chronology of The Fronde series of Civil Wars in France during the 17th Century of which La Rochefoucauld was an aristocratic rebel. There is also a chronology of La Rochefoucauld's own life. Francois de La Rochefoucauld was a noted French author of maxims and memoirs.
