In the introduction to the present edition Whibley says that the translation "is a masterpiece untouched by age"--a description equally applicable to the book itself whose contents have scarcely been touched. The French courtier Comines ca. 1445 - ca. 1511 chronicles the reign of Louis XI and the Italian expedition of Charles VIII covering most of the three decades beginning in 1464. The work comprises the first critical and philosophical history to be written after antiquity and it earned for Comines the appellation of "father of modern history." Britannica says that "the graphic style of his narrative and above all the keenness of his insight into the motives of his contemporaries an insight undimmed by undue regard for principles of right and wrong make this work one of the great classics of history." Our translation by Danett the first in English was originally published in 1596 and the present edition uses the 1601 version which includes a life of Comines. The introduction by Charles Whibley gives a biography of Comines and an analysis of his style and ideas. Danett fl. 1566-1601 also translated from various authors a sequel to Comines' work and an epitome of descriptions of the Low Countries drawn from the works of Guicciardini.

Royal octavo 9 3/4" x 7 1/2" bound in full leather with five raised bands and lettering in gilt and decorative vignettes. First edition. Philippe Avril was a Jesuit explorer of the Far East and professor of philosophy and mathematics at Paris when he was dispatched to the Jesuit missions of China. He was summoned by the Jesuit missions and sent as a Jesuit to the missions in China. Following the instructions of Ferdinand Verbiest another Jesuit then at Peking suggested that he attempted an overland journey which he ended up traveling for six years through Kurdistan Armenia Astrakhan Persia and other countries of eastern Asia arriving at Moscow. He now traveled to Grodno in Poland where he renewed an acquaintance with Count de Syri who had formerly befriended him at Astrakham. The count at the suggestion of Avril applied ot the French government for the appointment of ambassador from the King of France to the Emperor of China. He succeed in obtaining the appointment and it was arranged that Avril should accompany him. They set out to Moscow together. An accident detained Avril and the count arrived at Moscow days before his companion. On the arrival of Avril he received the intelligence that the Russian authorities and compelled the count to proceed and was refused permission to over take him. Avril proceeded to Warsaw and through the assistance of Prince Jablonowksi to reach Constantinople by way of Moldavia. Here he was seized with spitting of blood and he found himself compelled to relinquish his mission and returned to France. He landed at Toulon in 1690 and published an account of his travels. Avril's journal and writings provide a significant amount of useful material for modern historians and demographers.
