1771217211771 Essays of Montaigne French Renaissance Philosophy Humanism Coste French 10vFirst published in 1580 the Essays of Michel de Montaigne were a collection of essays and writings on a variety of topics and content. Montaigne was rather decisive in his rhetoric and used various Ancient Greek Latin and Italian texts as examples and references such as Lucretius and Plutarch quotations. Montaigne himself stated that the goal of his essays was to describe man with 'utter frankness and honesty.' According to the scholar Paul Oskar Kristeller "the writers of the period were keenly aware of the miseries and ills of our earthly existence." Montaigne sought to break man down into his basic features which at the time was extreme volatility. He wrote on marriage being an absolute necessity for raising children but he also quoted in the 'Essays' that "Marriage is like a cage; one sees the birds outside desperate to get in and those inside desperate to get out".This 1771 French edition was edited by Pierre Coste.Item number: #21721Price: $750MONTAIGNE Michel deEssaisLondres: chez Jean Nourse & Vaillant 1771.Details: • Collation: Complete with all pages; 10 volumes o Each tome individually paged• Language: French• Binding: Leather; tight and secure• Size: ~5.75in X 3.25in 14.5cm x 8.5cmOur Guarantee:Very Fast.

17435000764London: B and B Barker G. Strahan S. Ballard and 14 others 1743. The bindings lightly rubbed but a very pleasant set; the labels though replaced quite appropriate. Three volumes octavo contemporary dark marbled calf spines with raised bands lettered in blind labels replaced front covers lettered "Wakefield" in gilt capitals. <p><p>The sixth edition "corrected and amended" of Charles Cotton's translation. Cotton 1630-1687 English poet and writer contributor to The Compleat Angler is best known for his version of Montaigne "among the acknowledged masterpieces of translation" DNB. In contrast to Florio's extravagant Elizabethan prose of 1603/1613 Cotton's version was in turn suited to his age with a markedly dryer and plainer English.</p> <p>Cotton's translation holds significant importance in the literary and philosophical realms having helped spread Montaigne's profound and influential ideas to the English-speaking world. The "Essays" are a collection of personal reflections and philosophical musings covering a wide range of topics such as human nature morality education and the nature of knowledge. Cotton's translation not only preserved the essence of Montaigne's original work but also rendered it accessible to a broader audience enabling English readers to engage with Montaigne's profound insights. Cotton's efforts contributed to the spread and popularization of the essay as a literary genre shaping the development of English literature and thought. Moreover the translation acted as a conduit for the exchange of ideas between France and England during the Enlightenment fostering intellectual and cultural dialogue.</p> </p> . Provenance: Hugh Cleghorn 1752-1837 colonial administrator "child of the Scottish Enlightenment" and a beneficiary in Adam Smith's will; from his library at Wakefield House Strathivie in Fife near St. Andrews with front covers boldly stamped in gilt "WAKEFIELD".
