Edition : Limited Edition (713 of 1300)., Contemporary ¼ blue cloth with paper boards, blind-tooled leather label on spine, top edge gilt, fore- and tail- edges rough-trimmed. , English Translation.Rabelais was one of the most important writers of Renaissance France, publishing his ?Lives? of Gargantua and Pantagruel between the years 1532-1552 (?). He was a champion of humanism and, having left the monkhood in his early years, studied to become a doctor?both domains featuring heavily in his works. They are satirical in nature and, although Rabelais remained a Catholic, in them he attacks the orthodoxy of the Church as well as the strict classicism of contemporary scholarship. He favoured a moderated blend of spirituality, scholarship and the physical sciences, a blend which did not privilege any of those domains over the other and when combined formed the perfect human (hence, humanism). , Size : Thick 4to, Profusely illustrated with colour and black and white plates., Volume : Three Volumes, Samuel Putnam, P.
