Edition rare. Enrico Caterino Davila, né le 30 octobre 1576 à Piove di Sacco, près de Padoue et mort en juillet 1631 à San Michele Extra, aujourd'hui un quartier de Vérone, est un historien italien. D'une famille originaire d'Ávila en Espagne, et qui avait fourni plusieurs connétables au royaume de Chypre, Enrico Caterino Davila fut amené de bonne heure en France, où son père jouissait de la faveur du roi Henri III et de Catherine de Médicis (en souvenir de quoi il reçut les noms de Henri et Catherin). Il fut d'abord page, puis prit du service sous Henri IV pendant la guerre civile, et se distingua à Honfleur et devant Amiens (1597).

Davila (Henri-Catherin), born on October 30th, in Sacco, a village in the commune of Padua. He became famous thanks to his Histoire des guerres civiles de France. Well informed of the Wars of Religion, he says, in the 9th book of his History, ?that he was present, 1588, for the opening of the Estates General of Blois, and so close from the king that he could clearly listen to him during his entire speech.? The following year the queen, Catherine de? Medici, his patron, died in January, and Henri III was murdered in August. Despite Henri IV?s abjuration, the war kept following. Davila stood out during many meetings; he had a horse killed under the siege of Honfleur, in 1594, and was wounded in 1597 by a halberd, during the siege of Amiens. Peace being made in 1598, he was called back by his father in Padua who had gone back after Catherine de? Medici?s death. He never stopped keeping up his letters and working, during his leisure moments, to the great work he had undertook.
