Details
Description
Second English edition of The History of Philip de Commines.
This work was a primary source for 15th century European history. Commines has been called "the first critical and philosophical historian since classical times" (Oxford Companion to English Literature), principally for his shrewd and practical insight into the political realities of his day, his psychological insight, and his forthright account of the machinations of the politicians he described. His history is divided into eight books, the first six which deal with the reign of Louis XI. The last two deal with the Italian wars of Charles VIII and ending with his death. The first English translation was published in 1596.
