The four plays collected here are: Pompeius Magnus, on the Roman general and statesman Pompey the Great, ally and then enemy of Julius Caesar; Croesus liberatus, on the king of Lydia, famed for his wealth and for his defeat at the hands of the Persian king Cyrus the Great; Cyrus punitus, on Cyrus himself, founder of the Persian empire; and Darius proditus, on Darius III, the Persian king overthrown by Alexander the Great. Mousson was born in Verdun and taught grammar and rhetoric at Pont-à-Mousson, Dole, La Flèche, and Orléans, where he died. His preface here, addressed 'to my actors', refers to other unpublished plays from his pen, performed at Pont-à-Mousson and La Flèche. The work is printed in the small town of La Flèche, situated halfway between Le Mans and Angers, home to the the Collège Henri-IV, a celebrated Jesuit school founded in 1603 by Henry IV, attended by Descartes and Hume, among various other famous alumni.Sommervogel V, 1473; USTC 6804590.
