Cambridge:Harvard University Press. 1958. 1st edition. 321pp. Illustrated. Hardcover with dust jacket. A fine copy, with a near fine dust jacket. *"The Memoires-Journaux of Pierre de L'Estoile do for the Paris of Henry IV what Pepys' Diary does for the London of Charles II. A serious student of politics and morals with a keen ability for judging men and events, L'Estoile left behind him a penetrating record of the years 1574-1611 in France, a period which included the crucial wars of religion caused by the Counter Reformation and one studded with glamorous personalities -- Henry IV, Philip II of Spain, Mary Queen of Scots, Catherine de Medici, and many more."...dj
