Présentation de l'éditeur

Fortunately we have left behind us the damp houses and tortuous streets of Paris. And yonder outside the gates between the trees, rises stately and impressive, the abbey Saint-G ermain des Pres, where the kindly abbot, William Briconnet, sways his sceptre. Like a fortress the abbey is surrounded by deep moats to prevent surprise from any sudden and unexpected attack ;and a sweet resting -place it affords to the man, who worn out by the moil and toil of the great city, wishes here to end his days in tranquillity and peace. There in the great hall with its costly library, sits a solitary man. The friendship of Briconnet brought him to the place. And on the parchment, that is lying before him on the massive writing-table, he writes :A nno 1509 For it is the year 1509.
