His Memoires was first published between 1524 and 1528 achieving immediate success with numerous reprints and earning the unique distinction among French-language texts of never having gone out of print. The first part written in the 1480s focuses on the reign of Louis XI particularly his rivalry with Charles the Bold while the second part composed in the 1490s examines Charles VIII's Italian campaign. Commines who served in a diplomatic capacity under both French monarchs devotes particular attention to the rise and fall of the Florentine preacher Girolamo Savonarola and the ultimate failure of French military and political ambitions in Italy.Commines's ""graphic style . 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"" Britannica. Often referred to as the ""French Machiavelli"" he shares affinities with the Italian political thinker particularly in his pragmatic and unsentimental approach to power.Willems 634; Tchemerzine III p. 468 ""jolie edition elzevirienne tres recherchee"". hardcover
