This translation of Pichatty's Journal abrŽgŽ de ce qui s'est passŽ en la ville de Marseille depuis qu'elle est affigŽe de la contagion is attributed by some to Daniel Defoe. The original work is very rare, as it was suppressed after publication. Pichatty de Croissante, councillor and orator in the City of Marseilles, also held the position of Procureur du Roi and was thus in charge of the police; he presented his account in the form of a diary, and it has been evaluated by Bertrand (in his history of the plague published in 1723) as being highly accurate. This copy, while well-preserved i... View more info

Publisher's green embossed cloth covers, bumped at corners, vol. 1 starting to split along edge of spine. Engraved frontispiece by Hinchliff after Vasari; no guard. Bookplate ex libris Edwardus Evans. Roscoe, a Unitarian by faith, was not the obvious choice to write these biographies, yet the books were well received when first published and deservedly ran to many popular editions, of which this is an interesting example. Hard work in places (the author is not averse to reproducing lengthy quotations in the original Latin or Italian), but Roscoe's admiration for Lorenzo de' Medici shines throu... View more info
