The illustrated wraps are in good condition (slight edge chipping, 60-year-old used bookstore price tag still affixed to the front cover, foxing on back cover). 7 x 4 ½, 190 pages, 8 ounces XX [From the back cover] With the decline of the Middle Ages, morality in high places went by the board, and these chronicles of the Royal Household of late sixteenth century France omit no detail of the scandalous feats and sensual practices of lusty court ladies, with a great deal of leisure, and little to think about except the refinements of the art of love. Bursting with bawdy wit, and rivalled only by Petronius and Rabelais, the Abbé de Brantome has here recorded these episodes of unrestrained immorality in the life of a licentious court. XX [From Wikipedia] Pierre de Bourdeille (c. 1540 - 15 July 1614), called the seigneur et abbé de Brantôme, was a French memoirist, soldier and biographer. He was given several benefices, the most important of which was the lay abbacy of Saint-Pierre de Brantôme, but had no inclination for an ecclesiastical career. He became a soldier and came into contact with many of the great leaders of the continental wars. He travelled in Italy; in Scotland, where he accompanied Mary, Queen of Scots (then the widow of Francis II of France); in England, where he saw Elizabeth I (1561, 1579); in Morocco, where he took part in Don García de Toledo's conquest of Badis (1564); and in Spain and Portugal. During the Wars of Religion under Charles IX, he fought for the Catholics (including at the siege of La Rochelle), but he allowed himself to be won over temporarily by the ideas of the Huguenot reformers. A fall from his horse compelled him to retire into private life about 1589, and he spent his last years in writing his Memoirs of the illustrious men and women whom he had known. De Bourdeille can hardly be regarded as a historian proper, and his Memoirs cannot be accepted as a very trustworthy source of information. But he writes in a quaint conversational way, pouring forth his thoughts, observations or facts without order or system, and with the greatest frankness. His works give a picture of the general court-life of the time, with its unblushing and undisguised profligacy. There is not an homme illustre or a dame galante in all his gallery of portraits who has not engaged in sexual immorality; and yet the whole is narrated with the most complete unconsciousness that there is anything objectionable in their conduct.…
