Venice: Domenico Usci 1613. Softcover. Fair. This early 17th century edition of Commines important work on the inner-workings of the French government includes one of the more interesting provenance marks I've researched not for the person but for the unique way it's likely verified: ""Pompeo Arrigoni"" signed the flyleaf and title page twice. Searching this name quickly brought me to the Italian Roman Catholic Cardinal and Archbishop Pompeo Arrigoni. At his Italian Wikipedia page is a 1596 painting of him. I zoomed in on a note he's holding and there is his last name written in what appears to me the same hand as the one that inscribed my book. The painting is ""commons"" which means I'm free to use the photo so I've attached a copy of the note. I have to say most times I have to infer that someone signed a book context time period etc.; this is the first time I've ever found a picture of my subject holding their written name as though saying ""Yeah it was me that wrote in that book"". About the Author and Work - Philippe de Commines 1447 1511 was a writer and diplomat in the courts of Burgundy and France. He has been called ""the first truly modern writer"" Charles Augustin Sainte-Beuve and ""the first critical and philosophical historian since classical times"" Oxford Companion to English Literature. The Mémoires are divided into ""books"" the first six of which were written between 1488 and 1494 and relate the course of events from the beginning of Commines' career 1464 up to the death of King Louis. The remaining two books were written between 1497 and 1501 printed in 1528 and deal with the Italian wars ending in the death of King Charles VIII of France. Commines' scepticism is summed up in his own words: Car ceux qui gagnent en ont toujours l'honneur ""For the honours always go to the winners"".
