Contenant outre la Relation de plusieurs événemens notables en l'Estat, en l'Eglise, és cours, & és armées, divers advis politiqs, ecclesiastiqs & militaires sur beaucoup de mouvemens importans de l'Europe ; soubs Henry III. Henry IV. & Louys XIII. Leyde, Elsevier 1647. Edition originale. Rédigée par David Licques, d'après un manuscrit de Mme de Mornay, jusqu'à l'année 1606, et pour les dix-sept années suivantes, d'après les renseignements fournis tant par Jean Daillé que par deux secrétaires de Mornay, nommés Jules de Meslay et René Chalopin, enrichie d'éclaircissement historiques. C'est la seule édition publiée par ces éditeurs, elle contient les quatre livres narrant la vie de Philippe de Mornay et des évènements politiques, sociaux et religieux ayant eu lieu sous les règnes d'Henri III, d'Henri IV et de Louis XIII. Une des deux éditions publiées en 1647 (ici le fleuron en tête de la dédicace mesure 100 mm et représente une grande tête de bulle avec personnages grotesques, édition sans Errata). Philippe de Mornay (1549 - 1623), dit Duplessis-Mornay, consacre toute sa vie à la cause protestante. Il participe auprès du roi de Navarre, futur Henri IV, au combat politique et militaire. Sa valeur de combattant se manifeste dans les batailles décisives qui opposent les huguenots aux armées de la Ligue. Son activité militaire se double d'une activité politique majeure auprès du roi de Navarre. Dès 1576 il est son conseiller et son ambassadeur. Lors de sa mission auprès du prince d'Orange (1578-1582) il prend la mesure de la dimension européenne du combat huguenot. Aux Pays-Bas comme dans le royaume de France, il se fait le défenseur de la coexistence confessionnelle contre l'hégémonie espagnole et pour le respect de la liberté de pensée. En 1582, il laisse les Pays-Bas aux mains de Monsieur, le frère du Roi (François d'Anjou) et rejoint le roi de Navarre. Il intervient plus directement dans le débat politique national, lorsque Henri de Navarre devient l'héritier présomptif du royaume à la suite de la mort de François d'Anjou (1584). Il tente alors de mener une action en vue d'une légitime accession du roi de Navarre au trône de France. Il prend une part active aux négociations de l'Édit de Nantes. Sans participer à sa rédaction, il y contribue par ses remontrances au roi en faveur des protestants et ses conseils de modération. Duplessis-Mornay est non seulement un acteur mais un penseur politique, témoin de son temps. Il inspire les écrits de propagande diffusés dans l'entourage d'Henri de Navarre au cours de la période 1585-1589. Il entend démontrer que les Guise pactisent avec l'ennemi, notamment lorsqu'ils ont, avec les représentants du roi d'Espagne, signé le traité de Joinville le 31 décembre 1584. Duplessis-Momay insiste sur le principe de distinction du politique et du religieux contre la Ligue qui défend l'idée selon laquelle la religion conditionne la fidélité au prince. Il défend la loi salique contre la loi de catholicité défendue par les Guise. Momay en ce sens se situe dans la ligne du loyalisme calviniste à l'égard de la royauté. Acteur et penseur politique, Duplessis-Momay se montre également, dans ses ouvrages, théologien et exégète.

Couverture rigide. Condition: Très bon. First edition of the biography of Henry IV's famous minister, emblematic figure of Protestantism, close councilor to the King and one of the most remarkable men of his time. Willems, Elzevier, 619; Brunet, III, 1912. The work has been written by David Licques after Mme de Mornay's manuscript (Charlotte Arbaleste) and the notes of two minister's secretaries. The dedication epistle, signed by the Elzevier, is actually by Valentin Conrart, also Huguenot, whose literary reunions have given birth to the French Academy. It is in first edition as well. Precious copy of the poet Saint-Amant, bearing on the title the mention in his own hand A Saint-Amant. Brought up in the reformed faith, regular to Conrart's circle, Saint Amant was close friend of Duplessis-Mornay's grand-son, Philippe de Jaucourt, Baron de Villarnoul (the mother of the Baron de Villarnoul was the daughter of Duplessis-Mornay) the one he called "his tender half" and for whom he had written, the previous year, the Epistle to Monsieur le Baron de Villarnoul (1646): Quoy que le temps toute chose corrompe, Mon Villarnoul en mes vers brillera, Tant que la Terre, ou le Ciel tournera ?.
