The author uses place names ancient sources and epigraphic evidence to argue that the Greek language had originated in Gaul and that the Gallic Druids and Bards were developing philosophy science and poetry long before other cultures. Picard claims that the Greek language was first brought to Greece by the Gauls as they travelled through those lands on the way to found new settlements in Asia Minor i.e. Galatia paraphrased from Le Long Bib.

1598001041London: Thomas Creede 1598. First English language edition. . Hardcover. See Description. Small folio. Lacking preliminary blank leaf thus pp. 10 310 292 4. Page numbering is erratic. Leaf Ee3 is mis-signed as F3 but all leaves are present and in order. The title page contains a woodcut vignette/device. Each chapter begins with a woodcut decorative head piece and an initial. Bound in full dark brown modern calf with blind tooled borders and stamps after an early period style. The upper part of the title page is age-toned / tanned; a professionally sealed 7 cm. tear runs from the gutter part way across the upper portion of the title and is difficult to detect on first sight; a couple of tiny chips on the top edge are restored. Interior pages are generally attractive but with occasional mild age-toning and periodic faint marginal damp staining. A small repair patch is present on the inner margins of leaves A6 and V6. A tear on leaf V6 also carefully sealed extends vertically about 8.5 cm from the lower gutter and part way into the text but causing almost no obscuration. Printed by Thomas Creede who is best known for issuing dramatic works including some of Shakespeares plays. The book is divided into two parts. The first part is a translation of "Recueil des choses mémorables avenues en France sous le règne de Henri II François II Charles IX Henri III et Henri IV." This work is generally attributed to either Simon Goulart or Jean de Serres and was first printed in French no place or publisher in 1595 and again in 1598 expanded to include the reign of Henri IV up to the year 1597. See Brunet IV 1161-1162. The second part with new pagination provides translated selections from Pierre Matthieus 4 part "Histoire des derniers troubles de France" first published in Lyons 1594-95. A section at the end is titled "a brief recitall of the most memorable things which came to passé in Fraunce under the raigne of Henry the fourth until the middle of the Yeare 1598" which if written by Matthieu may possibly represent the first printing of some amendments which Matthieu later added to the second edition of his "Histoire" printed in 1600. This collection provides interesting testaments to the wars of religion in France during the 16th century. A separate 4 page tract at the end is titled: "A true discourse concerning the deliverie of Brittaine in the yeare 1598." ESTC S121331; USTC 513796; Lowndes p. 831; Hazlitt Biblio.

1580032567Antverpiae Antwerp: Ex officina Christophori Plantini Architypographi Regii 1580 An extremely scarce original copy in soft cover vellum binding printed and published by Christopher Plantin and with his printer's device on the title page. This work is a contemporary account of events in the Netherlands during the period of armed rebellion against the rule of Philip II of Spain and its subsequent repression. The activities of Mathias Holy Roman Emperor who was invited to be Governor of the Netherlands in 1577 in promoting a Catholic revival have been said to be contributory to the Thirty Years War. The work was edited by Aggaeus Van Albada an extremely able who was principal speaker for the Netherlands at the peace talks that followed the rebellion. Christopher Plantin whose major printing house was in Antwerp suffered personally in the conflict - only saving his business from destruction by paying ransoms to the Spanish soldiers. This copy is in a full vellum soft binding. The boards appear contemporary with the remains of ties at the back. The spine is newer and possibly applied with glue - the book is quite tight to open particularly at the beginning. The binding is a little grubby but sound. Newer blanks have been added at the beginning and end and are a little dog-eared. Contents: title page with printer's device and a couple of ink letters; summa privilegii 1p; text with decorative initial capitals pp 1-338; ad lectorum 339-340; quotation 1p; printer's note 1p; blank; typographus lectori with superscriptio pp 345-351. Given the age of this book the contents are in good clean condition. There is a light stain in the bottom margin that extends upwards into the text which is persistent throughout but which worsens at the end of the book. Pages are lightly toned. A very small piece of the paper surface from a marginal note has detached at p328 and been deposited on p329 but the original text is still visible.

156298780Milan 1562. 1562. - Folio 12 inches high by 8-1/2 inches wide. 1-page on bifolium with a red paper seal. On the 4th leaf with the seal the letter is addressed "APRmo 5 Mons : Vescovo di Cremona". The letter realized in a secretarial hand is dated April 5 1562 from Milan and is boldly signed by Francesco Fernando dÁvalos d'Aquino d'Aragona.<p>Philip II King of Spain and Duke of Milan chose Francesco Fernando dÁvalos to be his envoy at the Council of Trent. He arrived in Trent on March 14 1562 and attended the sessions of the council. He pressed the Spaniards to not offer up anything against the interests of the Holy See. Upon his return to Milan he charged his secretary Ercole Pagnano with the task of generating a report. As the Governor's agent Pagnano had defended the privileges of the Sicilian monarchy and worked with the Spaniards to quell the controversy regarding the jurisdiction of bishops. In this letter to the Bishop of Cremona the Governor is offering Pagnano's report to him. Loosely translated he states that Pagnano is well informed about these things and that "V.S." Your Excellency should be given his account.<p>The letter was once folded into 4 panels and there very minor breaks along 3 of the folds. There is some minor browning especially to one of the folds. <p>An advisor to King Philip II of Spain Francesco Fernando dÁvalos c.1530-1571 took command of the Spanish army in Lombardy and Piedmont succeeding the 3rd Duke of Alba who had become the Governor of Milan. From 1560 to 1563 Francesco Fernando served as the Governor of the Duchy of Milan. He was the viceroy of Sicily from 1568 to 1571.<p>The Bishop of Cremona was born Niccolo Sfondrati in 1535 in the Duchy of Milan. Philip II of Spain appointed him to be a senator in Milan in 1552 and at the urging of the Spanish government the Pope appointed him Bishop of Cremona in 1560. He participated in some of the sessions of the Council of Trent from 1561 to 1563. In 1590 he was one of seven cardinals that were acceptable to be pope by Philip II of Spain. He was elected Pope and took the name Gregory XIV. He died less than a year later in October 1591. Milan, 1562. unknown
