Early edition in publisher's original full vellum covered boards. 8vo. 8½'' x 6¾''. The Historia delle guerre civili di Francia is based on first-hand knowledge of events and personalities. Sceptical about the religious claims of both sides (Catholic and Huguenot), Davila vividly portrayed the French wars of religion mainly as a struggle between noble factions for the control of the royal government and, within limits, is still a rich source of information for a troubled period of French history.

Little has changed, maybe a bit adjusted, more cunning, could see it used as sober reminder for junior clergy by cardinals - even by the Vatican, coming from man of his stature, brought out of obscurity for 'the here and now'. Interesting marker for UK-Irish religious history library or record of papal support in an Irish Catholic Church Library as it directly connects with period of bloodshed | suppression by Puritan Protestants | Roundheads - revenge massacres, mass confiscations, famine, plague - many sent to America as 'slaves'. Neat, modest bookplate is Robt. Fellowes - with vignette to the front paste down. Robert Fellowes, L.L.D. 1771-1847 of Shottesham Hall, Norfolk was Clergyman, journalist and philanthropist. Member of the P.B.F.A. FRANCE [Literature & History).…
