Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. In this book, the author ponders the ideal qualities of monarchs and ponders if a monarchy is the best means of governing a realm. The author comes at the subject from the perspective of 14th & 15th century Europe, particularly France. The book starts with a discussion of the essential… qualities of leadership, before moving on to outline the conditions under which a monarchy would be the most effective means of governing.

Di questa certamente preziosa collezione dispersa si conoscono solo due altre opere: Oeuvres d' Ambroise Paré (Paris, Buon, 1575; venduto a Parigi da Sotheby s il 18 maggio 2020, lot. 11); e le Jardin de Santé (Paris, Le Noir, 1539; conservato nella biblioteca di Sainte-Genevieve).

Seyssel fu arcivescovo, giurista e umanista esponente di un' antica famiglia dell' aristocrazia savoiarda. Già vescovo di Marsiglia trasferito poi all' Arcidiocesi di Torino si impegnò attivamente nella conversione delle comunità valdesi delle valli montane.

Elaborate woodcut border on the title page with contemporary ownership entry crossed out. Various notes on the pastedowns including a very cool contemporary one in French stating,"Today this book belongs to my lord Jacques du Faux, a cloth merchant." A beautifully printed, wide-margined copy of an important and very rare book. *** The study of Thucydides was part of the Renaissance tradition of turning to Greek and Roman historians to solve the problems of modern politics. Italian humanist and priest, Lorenzo Valla, made the first known Latin translation of Thucydides in 1452. The editio princeps of Thucydides was printed by Aldus in 1502. Claude de Seyssel(1450-1520), the bishop of Marseilles and later Archbishop of Turin, was the first to put the History of the Peloponnesian War into a modern language using Valla s Latin edition. In the prologue, he states that this is one of the translations he has done for the use of King Louis XII, who had found in the Ancients useful lessons for a modern monarch. This book was printed by order of his successor, King Francis I, who was said to have carried it with him into war. The famed printer, Jodocus Badius, was contracted to produce 1225 copies on paper and a few on vellum. In the fifty years following this edition, Thucydides was translated and re-translated into several modern languages. The first English translation, based on this French edition, wouldn t appear until 1550 by Cambridge scholar Thomas Nicolls. Thomas Hobbes well-known translation from the Greek text would appear even later in 1629. No other copies of this book appear in sales records since the early 1950s. Scarce.***** One of the greatest ancient historians, Thucydides(c.460 B.C. c.400 B.C.) chronicled nearly 30 years of war and tension between Athens and Sparta. His History of the Peloponnesian War set a standard for scope, concision, and accuracy that makes it a defining text of the historical genre. Unlike his near-contemporary Herodotus(author of the other great ancient Greek work, The Histories), Thucydides topic was his own time. He relied on the testimony of eyewitnesses and his own experiences as a general during the war. Though specific in detail, the questions he addressed were timeless: What makes nations go to war? How can politics elevate or poison a society? What is the measure of a great leader or a great democracy? It took several generations for Thucydides to attain his now-unassailed place as one of the greatest historians of all time. Aristotle, who lived a few decades later and wrote about the same era, never mentions him. By the first century B.C. writers such as Cicero declared him as a great historian. Over the next centuries, numerous copies were made of the work, ensuring its survival past the dark ages. After the Renaissance, political philosophers from Thomas Hobbes to Friedrich Nietzsche extolled Thucydides clear vision and realist s grasp of politics and warfare. (A&E)*** In these difficult times, perhaps some inspiration can be gleaned from Pericles famed Funeral Oration for fallen Athenian soldiers(a speech which was possibly a model for Lincoln s Gettysburg Address). Our democracy can only survive if citizens of good will come together for the greater good of the nation. Tolerance, respect for our fellow citizens, and commitment to freedom can be the bulwark against annihilators of truth and fear mongers seeking to corrupt our institutions.***Please email us for better pricing.

Petit in-8 gothique (124 x 194 mm) de (8)-lxviii ff. (signatures AA?, A-H? J?), maroquin vert, dos à nerfs orné de caissons à froid, titre doré, double encadrement de filets à froid sur les plats, tranches dorées (Laurenchet). Édition originale très rare de cette biographie du roi Louis XII dédiée à François Ier à qui elle devai…t servir de manuel, établie par le prélat savoyard Claude de Seyssel (Aix-les-Bains vers 1450 - Turin 1520) conseiller et maître des requêtes de Louis XII, évêque de Marseille de 1511 à 1517, puis archevêque de Turin de 1517 à sa mort.« Conçu pour l'édification d'un "roy venant nouvellement à la couronne et non ayant encores la connaissance entière d'icelle Monarchie, laquelle ne se peut voir que par longue pratique", ce traité à dessein non prolixe se veut solidement ancré dans la réalité. Il dresse un état des lieux des forces et des faiblesses du royaume, institutionnelles et sociales, ne se prête aux considérations théoriques, historiques et morales qu'eu égard aux caractères originaux d'une France devant être maintenue au premier rang des États de la Chrétienté. Il est en quelque sorte le testament d'un homme bien en mesure par son immense culture et sa grande expérience des affaires publiques de fournir au nouveau souverain et à son entourage une doctrine essentiellement nationale et concrète de l'action politique, intérieure et extérieure. Son succès marqué par les rééditions, les traductions en latin et en allemand résulte en bonne part de cette approche pragmatique. Tandis que la première partie établit la supériorité de la monarchie héréditaire sur les autres régimes, celle de la France en particulier, les quatre autres "montrent comme et par quels moyens la Monarchie de France peut se conserver et accroître. Plus que ses analyses de la force du royaume de la manière de vivre avec les princes et les peuples étrangers de la forme et manière de conquérir états et pays qui font l'objet des trois dernières parties, au demeurant bien plus brèves, ce sont les deux premières où s'illustrent avec force exemples celle des freins à la puissance "absolue" (la Religion, la Justice, la Police) qui ont fait la grande fortune du livre, française et européenne. » (J. Krynen, Dictionnaire historique des juristes français XIIe-XXe siècle, p. 712).Impression en caractères gothiques « attribuable aux presses de Frédéric d'Egmont » selon Brigitte Moreau (Inventaire, II, 1519, n°2202), illustrée au titre d'un grand bois des armes de François Ier avec son chiffre répété et deux salamandres (90 x 115 mm) et un grand bois de style lyonnais (148 x 108 mm) en regard du titre de départ qui représente le roi Louis XII entouré de son conseil (note manuscrite ancienne "françois I" partiellement biffée sur la gravure).

1 vol. petit in-8°, parchemin souple, titre écrit à la plume sur le plat sup. Reliure de l'époque, traces de lacets. Bon exemplaire. Titre orné de la marque typographique de J. Du Puy, (8) ff., 75 ff., (1) f. blanc. Signatures : at8 [A-H]8 I10. Rousseurs uniformes, petite galerie de vers en marge inférieure. Cette édition est la… reproduction ligne à ligne de celle qu'avait imprimée Gilles Corrozet en 1558. Claude de Seyssel, proche conseiller de Louis XII avait publié cette histoire qui est plutôt un panégyrique de Louis XII en 1508 sous le titre Les Louenges du Roy Louis XII. Cet ouvrage n'est autre que Les Louenges du Roy Louis XII dont Denis Sauvage avait rajeuni le style et qui avait été réimprimé sous le titre d'Histoire singulière du Roys Loys xij de ce nom en 1558. L'édition de 1587 et celle de 1558 sont très proches, à tel point que Ch. Lenormant (Bulletin du Bibliophile, 1840, pp. 139-144) pensait qu'il s'agissait d'une nouvelle émission de l'édition de 1558 dont seul le titre aurait été rafraîchi. En réalité ce n'est pas le cas : Jacques du Puy a servilement copié l'édition de 1558 à la ligne près, mais on remarque quelques différences typographiques (quelques variantes orthographiques ou dans les abréviations, les lettrines qui ont été changées) qui prouvent qu'il s'agit bien d'une nouvelle impression.
