His Essays are a collection of personal reflections exploring a wide range of topics from human nature to philosophy literature and personal experiences. Published in three books they were written and revised over several decades with the first edition appearing in 1580. The remarkable modernity of thought apparent in Montaigne's essays coupled with their sustained popularity made them arguably the most prominent work in French philosophy until the Enlightenment. Their influence over French education and culture is still strong. Wikipedia They were originally written in Middle French and published in the Kingdom of France. Montaigne's stated design in writing publishing and revising the Essays over the period from approximately 1570 to 1592 was to record "some traits of my character and of my humours." Montaigne's Essays went through several stages of publication evolving from a two-book work in 1580 to a final posthumous edition in 1595. The first English translation of Montaigne's Essays was published in 1603 by John Florio. This translation titled The Essayes or Morall politike and millitarie discourses was a significant event in English literature introducing the French philosopher's work to an English-speaking audience. <br /> <br /> Bound in full brown leather; the spine has raised bands with titling and ornaments in gilt.
