La vie de Francois seigneur de La Nouë dit Bras-de-fer.

1661116711Leiden: Jean Elsevier 1661. Iron Arm First edition of the first significant - and conspicuously scarce - biography of the "Huguenot paladin" François de La Noue 1531-1591 one of the great Protestant captains of the 16th-century Wars of Religion; an attractive copy with an appealing naval provenance. The distinguished American historian John Lothrop Motley described La Noue as "not only one of the most experienced soldiers but one of the most accomplished writers of his age" Motley p. 480. At the siege of Fontenay in 1570 his left arm was shattered by a bullet and a mechanic fitted an iron limb that earned him the sobriquet of "Bras-de-fer" - "Iron Arm". He was a correspondent of Sir Philip Sidney and acknowledged by Montaigne in the Essais "for his goodness gentleness of manner and scrupulous courtesy. He is an important figure with regard to his political and religious affiliations as well as with regard to his Discours politiques et militaires 1587" Heitsch p. 134. The author Moïse Amyraut 1596-1664 was one of the leading French Protestant theologians of his day who numbered William Penn among his many students. The book is decidedly uncommon commercially and thinly represented institutionally: Library Hub cites 10 copies in British and Irish institutional libraries we have also located a copy at the Royal Collection; WorldCat locates no copies outside of European libraries. Provenance: armorial Elden Hall bookplate of Augustus Viscount Keppel 1725-1786 naval officer and politician: "a sailor from the age of 10 Keppel served actively throughout the Seven Years War 1756-63. In 1762 he served under Admiral Sir George Pocock in the British expedition that took Havana and he received £25000 in prize money as a result. He became a rear admiral in 1762 and vice admiral in 1770" Encyclopaedia Britannica online. ODNB describes him as an "outstanding" naval officer "especially in combined operations".
