Cloth. Etat : Good. First edition. Three volumes containing the memoires of Phillipe de Commines and the historical works of the Roman historian Sallust. From the Tudor translations series. Three volumes containing reprints of fifteenth century translations. From the Tudor Translations Series. Thomas Danett translates the memoires of Phillipe de Commines; a fifteenth century diplormat and writer in the courts of Burgundy and and under Louis XI in the courts of France. Commines memoires are a major primary source for fifteenth century European history, not only because of his analysis of the contemporary political scene, but because of his cynical and forthright attitude to machinations he witnessed in the courts of Louis XI. Reprinted from the revised text of 1601. A limited edition copy of Sallust, in which Charles Whilbey offers a biographical introduction to the Roman historian and politician, before Thomas Heywood provides translations of his Sallust's accounts of the Conspiracy of Catiline and The Jugurthine War in the first and second centuries. Prior owner's bookplate to volume I of The History of Commines. From the library of antiquarian, historian, and local politician William Henry Duigan. Duigan wrote several books and pamphlets on local history, particularly on the etymology of place names. Carl Duigan has crossed out William's name and added his own in ink. In the publisher original cloth covered calf binding over calf boards. Externally, generally smart. Lightly rubbed to the boards, particularly at the edges of Sallust. Lightly bumped to the head and tail of the spine, and a little rubbed to the joints. The spine is also a little discoloured, as is the cloth to the front joint of Sallust.

His history is divided into 8 books, the first six which deal with the reign of Louis XI. The last two deal with the Italian wars of Charles VIII and ending with his death.

4to, pp.[8], 148; B2 is a cancel on a stub; title-page within a border of printer's tools, woodcut headpieces and initials; a couple of marginal wormtracks, not touching text, withal a very good, clean crisp copy in contemporary or early calf, borders ruled in gilt and blind, ties wanting; Kimbolton Castle booklabel of the Dukes of Manchester, later bookplate.First edition, an original history composed in sequel to Danett's translation of The Historie of Philip de Commines (1596), covering the history of France from 1498 to 1559. It includes several passages of Latin poetry rendered into rhymed English verse, and was intended as an independent work published in quarto not the folio of the Commines. Danett (15431601) was raised on the Continent, whither his family had fled after his father supported the Duke of Suffolk's rising against Mary in 1554. He translated the Mémoires of Phillip de Commines while still a student and dedicated it to his patron the Earl of Leicester, but it was not published until 1596, then dedicated to William Cecil, Lord Burghley, a cousin. His translation was liberal, corrected errors in the original, added notes, and enlivened a rather flat source with lively metaphors. In the dedication (to Lord Buckhurst) to his Continuation Danett explains that in 1577 he had experienced the 'blouddie, cruell, and barbarous' wars of religion in France first hand 'we found such a wildernes in all the country between Bayonne and Bourdeaux, that whole forests and woods were turned up and consumed, the townes utterly desolated, the people despearsed' that he could not bring himself to take his history further than 1559. He hopes by rather that his history will 'teach Princes to live peaceably at home'.
