The book of the ladies - Illustrious Dames: The Reign and Amours of the Bourbon Régime

THE title, Vie des Dames Illustres, given habitually to one volume of Brantmes Works, is not that which was chosen by its author. It was given by his first editor fifty years after his death; Brantme himself having called his work The Book of the Ladies. One of his earliest commentators, Castelnaud, almost a cotemporary, says of him in his Memoirs: Pierre de Bourdeille, Abb de Brantme, author of volumes of which I have availed myself in various parts of this history, used his quality as one of those warrior abbs who were called Abbates Milites under the second race of our kings; never ceasing for all that to follow arms and the Court, where his services won him the Collar of the Order and the dignity of gentleman of the Bedchamber to the King. He frequented, with unusual esteem for his courage and intelligence, the principal Courts of Europe, such as Spain, Portugal (where the king honoured him with his Order), Scotland, and those of the Princes of Italy. He went to Malta, seeking an occasion to distinguish himself, and after that lost none in our wars of France. But, although he managed perfectly all the great captains of his time and belonged to them by alliance of friendship, fortune was ever contrary to him; so that he never obtained a position worthy, not of his merits only, but of a name so illustrious as his. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
