Description:
1688 1st ed History of Louis XII King of France Naples Italian WARS Varillas 3v

First edition of Antoine Varillas' History of Louis XII. A well-recognized member of his community, Varillas was a histographer and librarian for the Royal Library in France. Upon retiring, Varillas dedicated himself to writing a complete history of the life and reign of King Louis XII of France, for whom little was written at the time. Unfortunately, his writings received little recognition. As a result, his scholarly reputation was negatively impacted. Initially having high hopes, his works failed to reach the status he had desired during his lifetime. It was not until much later that the public would show interest in his writings.
