1685492<p><strong>London: T. Basset… and M. Gilliflower and W. Hensman 1685-86. Three volumes. Octavo contemporary full speckled calf re-backed in calf-gilt to style with the original red morocco spine labels & raised bands. First edition of Cotton's highly regarded English translation of Montaigne's essays considered "among the masterpieces of translation" DNB with frontispiece portrait in each volume in contemporary calf boards. Volume 1 has contemporary ink marginalia at the bottom of the title page. It is very rare to have frontispieces in each of the 3 volumes. Half-titles are not called for. A beautiful very good set which has benefitted from some expert restoration to the board edges. "Montaigne devised the essay form in which to express his personal convictions and private meditations a form in which he can hardly be said to have been anticipated. The most elaborate essay the 'Apologie de Raimond Sebonde' is second to no other modern writing in attacking fanaticism and pleading for tolerance. He finds a place in the present canon however chiefly for his consummate representation of the enlightened skepticism of the 16th century to which Bacon Descartes and Newton were to provide the answers in the next" PMM 95. "Though regarded with suspicion by the Church and placed on the Index 1676 his work won the admiration of his own and succeeding generations… it was quoted by Shakespeare in The Tempest and… inspired the English essay as developed by Bacon Cowley Temple and Dryden" Reid 422. "How far his influence has extended is incalculable" Harris 105. "Cotton's Montaigne ranks among the masterpieces of translation" DNB. "The final work Cotton saw through the press was one of his most admired his translation of Montaigne's Essays three volumes 1685-6 which immediately supplanted that by John Florio 1603 and was still being reprinted well into the 20th century. In Montaigne Cotton found a congenial mind and character which he rendered in relaxed and conversational prose" ODNB. First translated into English in 1603.</strong></p> T. Basset… and M.

One of the finest sets of the complete writings of Montaigne every produced. The type-setting was done by hand at Edinburgh's Riverside Press using Arnold's hand-made paper specially made and watermarked by the Navarre Society. What sets Montaigne aside from the early classics of the Early Modern period was that his search for truth led him to constantly challenge his own mind. While he had read both the Greek and Roman classics as well as those of the Renaissance his vistas were the wide world looking beyond the limits of society religion and art to ideas that seem remarkably modern to today's reader. Harold Bloom reflecting at the end of his life on the great writers he had Shakespeare Montaigne Cervantes and Dante noting that it was their search for truth that gave us the greatest sense of freedom. A very nice set in the original black ¾ Morocco over marbled paper covered boards joints have been re-enforced and with a few cosmetic touch ups. Privately Printed for the Navarre Society unknown
