"Jean-Pierre Camus was one of the most prolific authors of the period 1620-1648. His prose is succinct without the elaborate rhetoric of authors -- such as Antoine de Nervèze -- from the previous generation. He also shows a vast knowledge of poetry. Camus's first works were strongly influenced by the Essays of Michel de Montaigne albeit with more religious content. His spiritual works were directly inspired by Saint François de Sales; he was critical of mendicant orders and wrote extensively on poverty grace and spiritual reflection. His fictional works encompass both novels and short stories. His dark and violent stories often based on contemporary anecdotes or criminal incidents he wrote over 1000 such works were in the tradition of the horrific tales "histoires tragiques" of Matteo Bandello popular in France in the late Renaissance and early seventeenth century. His longer works show the influence of ancient Greek novels such as the works of Heliodorus of Emesa and Achilles Tatius with their scenes of tempests and kidnappings. Much of his fiction has a moralistic intention showing human folly the unruliness of passions the dangers of illicit love and the saving grace of divine love."

Paris: Jean Charron for Egidius and Nicolas Gilles 1588. A pleasing copy of this collection of separate works on Ancient Rome issued by Gilles simultaneously and sold either separately or as a collection as here. Most of the volume is devoted to works on Roman archaeology by the Augustinian scholar Onofrio Panvinio 1529-1568 one of the most important Renaissance historians of early Rome. In his short life Panvinio managed to write approximately 70 works on Roman and ecclesiastical history. His critical studies of Roman medals inscriptions architecture and monuments earned him the praise of the greatest of all Renaissance classicists Joseph Scaliger who called Panvinio "the father of all of history." First published in 1558 De republica Romana focused on the streets buildings and aqueducts of the Republic while Parts II and III constituted an invaluable history of the structure and institutions of early and later Roman government administration and society. Accompanying Panvinio's studies are several late Roman works including Sextus Julius Frontinus' important early study of the Roman water-supply system which surveys the system of aqueducts the laws regulating their use and maintenance and other matters relating to architecture. Also included are an ancient treatise on the origins of Rome of unknown authorship and other short works and fragments on Roman history. This copy was bound for Georg Rudolf von Zedlitz city councilor at Glogau whose panel-stamped arms and motto Ille sapiens qui utilia non qui multa scit "He is wise who knows useful things rather than many things" decorate the covers.
