The Definitive edition and the first folio edition. Folio. 24 523 1 blank 231 1 errata pp. Modern maroon morocco. Morocco spine label raised bands old gilt edges. Contents skillfully washed and sized a few marginal tears not affecting text some scattered pencil marginalia. A very good copy. This edition edited by the French bluestocking Marie de Jars Demoiselle de Gournay 1566-1645 has some claim to be the definitive edition of Montaigne's Essais. Mlle de Gournay who as a very young girl had travelled to Paris to meet her intellectual hero was Montaigne's adopted daughter. After Montaigne's death his widow presented Mlle de Gournay with the philosopher's copiously annotated copy of the 1588 edition of his Essais the last issued during his lifetime and the first to include the third book. Having inserted Montaigne's additions marked the alterations and translated all the quotations Mlle de Gournay sent the proofs to Bordeaux where the poet Pierre de Brach collated them against another copy with Montaigne's annotations deposited in the convent of the Feuillants in Bordeaux. "The edition thus produced in 1595 has with justice passed as the standard even in preference to those which appeared in the author's lifetime" Ency. Brit. Copies were also issued with the imprint of Abel l'Angelier. STC French Books p. 317; Adams M-1622 both l'Angelier imprint; Graesse IV 579 "aujourd'hui la principale edition de Montaigne pour l'authenticite du texte".

"Montaigne devised the essay form in which to express his personal convictions and private meditations a form in which he can hardly be said to have been anticipated. He finds a place in the present canon however chiefly for his consummate representation of the enlightened skepticism of the 16th century to which Bacon Descartes and Newton were to provide the answers in the next" - Printing and the Mind of Man 95. "Walt Whitman and Norman Mailer are indirect descendants of Montaigne even as Emerson and Nietzsche are his direct progeny" - Bloom Western Canon pp.147–151. "It is generally accepted that Shakespeare used Florio’s translation when writing the passage on the natural commonwealth in his Tempest" - Pforzheimer 378. Initially published in French in 1580 Montaigne’s Essayes were first published in English in 1603 with this translation. REFERENCES: STC 18042. Lowndes 1588. ESTC S111840. Printed by Melch.

The first complete edition of Michel de Montaigne's 1533-92 Essais one of the most influential and profound works of world literature. This is the last edition printed during the author's lifetime and the definitive text on which all later editions are based. The volume the so-called 'cinquièsme edition' is in fact the fourth edition and contains the first appearance of the third book printed from Montaigne's manuscript copy. Sayce offers an interesting hypothesis for the odd numbering of this edition: "The substitution of fifth for fourth edition may have been prompted by the desire to suggest that the book was selling better than it was a trick unknown today." Montaigne's association with Abel L'Angelier among the great printer-editors of the time was as much a coup for the author as it was for the publisher and the present volume's format "larger than the normal L'Angelier quarto gives Montaigne's book a certain prestige" Desan p. 42. The etched title page of putti masks and garlands in a quasi-architectural framework is here in its second state with the date added and the 'g' of 'grand' corrected; the copperplate seems to have been a bit large for the book as it is "often trimmed in almost all examples even those with the fullest margins" Desan p. 42. The present copy is typical of surviving 1588 editions almost all of which have been rebound in nineteenth-century red morocco Desan p. 42. The volume carries the bookplates of Horace de Landau 1824-1803 and the Swiss poet Albert Natural as well as a label indicating that it was exhibited in 1949 at the Lucerne exhibition "Dix Siècles de livres français" cat. no. 130 bis.

Small folio 11 3/8 x 7 1/4 inches; 290 x 185 mm collating: 12 630 2 blank pp. With engraved portrait of Florio on leaf A6v which was not included in the first English edition. With historiated initials and engraved head-and-tail pieces. The second and third books have separate dated title pages but pagination is continuous. This second edition replaces the original dedications of the three books to various Court ladies with a dedication and a new sonnet in Italian to the Queen Anne of Denmark who had appointed Florio as her reader in Italian and private secretary. Also for the first time in this edition is the anonymous sonnet Concerning the Honor of Bookes which was once attributed to Shakespeare but is more probably by Samuel Daniel. <br/><br/>Full contemporary polished calf.

Includes tinted gravure plates and additional frontispieces and titles for this edition. "Essays is the title of a book written by Michel de Montaigne that was first published in 1580. Montaigne essentially invented the literary form of essay a short subjective treatment of a given topic of which the book contains a large number. Essai is French for 'trial' or 'attempt'. Montaigne wrote in a kind of crafted rhetoric designed to intrigue and involve the reader sometimes appearing to move in a stream-of-thought from topic to topic and at other times employing a structured style which gives more emphasis to the didactic nature of his work. His arguments are often supported with quotes from classical Greek and Roman texts. Montaigne's stated goal in his book is to describe man and especially himself with utter frankness. He finds the great variety and volatility of human nature to be its most basic features. A typical quote is 'I have never seen a greater monster or miracle than myself.' He describes his own poor memory his ability to solve problems and mediate conflicts without truly getting emotionally involved his disgust for man's pursuit of lasting fame and his attempts to detach himself from worldly things to prepare for death. Montaigne is disgusted with the violent and in his opinion barbaric conflicts between Catholics and Protestants of his time and his writings show a pessimism and skepticism quite uncharacteristic for the Renaissance. Overall Montaigne was a strong supporter of humanism. He believed in God but declined to speculate about His nature. He exhibited a quite modern cultural relativism recognizing that laws morals and religions of the various cultures while often quite different may all be equally valid. He opposed the conquest of the New World deploring the suffering it brought upon the natives. Citing the case of Martin Guerre as an example he believes that humans cannot attain certainty and he rejects general and absolute statements and all dogma. His skepticism is best expressed in the long essay 'An Apology for Raymond Sebond' Book 2 Chapter 12 which has frequently been published separately. We cannot trust our reasoning because thoughts just occur to us: we don't truly control them. We do not have good reasons to consider ourselves superior to the animals. He is highly skeptical of confessions obtained under torture pointing out that such confessions can be made up by the suspect just to escape the torture he is subjected to the first known use of this argument against torture. In the middle of the section normally entitled 'Man's Knowledge Cannot Make Him Good' he wrote that his motto was 'What do I know'. The essay on Sebond ostensibly defended Christianity. However Montaigne eloquently employed so many references and quotes from classical Greek and Roman i.e. non-Christian authors especially the atomist Lucretius. Montaigne considered marriage necessary for the raising of children but disliked the strong feelings of romantic love as being detrimental to freedom. One of his quotations is 'Marriage is like a cage; one sees the birds outside desperate to get in and those inside desperate to get out.' In education he favored concrete examples and experience over the teaching of abstract knowledge that is expected to be accepted uncritically. The remarkable modernity of thought apparent in Montaigne's essays coupled with their sustained popularity made them arguably the most prominent work in French philosophy until the Enlightenment. Their influence over French education and culture is still strong. The official portrait of former French president Fran Edwin C. Hill hardcover books‎
