The history of the Italian Wars by the "French Machiavelli"

COMMINES, Philippe de. Les Memoires de Messire Philippe de Commines, Sr. d'Argenton. Derniere édition. Leiden: Chez les Elzeviers. 1648.

12mo. Late 19th-century full vellum with yapp edges, red morocco lettering-piece to spine, gilt edges; pp. [xxiv], 765, [19], with engraved title-page, woodcut initials, head-, and tailpieces; light spotting to vellum, overall an attractive, clean copy; early ownership inscription (cancelled) and later "Jean Paul Fesnim" to title; modern bookplate to front pastedown.

First Elzevir edition of Commines's celebrated contemporary account of the reign and military campaigns of Louis XI and Charles VIII of France.

Philippe de Commines (1447-1511) was a humanist chronicler and diplomat in the courts of Burgundy and France. His Mémoires was first published between 1524 and 1528, achieving immediate success with numerous reprints, and earning the unique distinction, among French-language texts, of never having gone out of print. The first part, written in the 1480s, focuses on the reign of Louis XI, particularly his rivalry with Charles the Bold, while the second part, composed in the 1490s, examines Charles VIII’s Italian campaign. Commines, who served in a diplomatic capacity under both French monarchs, devotes particular attention to the rise and fall of the Florentine preacher Girolamo Savonarola and the ultimate failure of French military and political ambitions in Italy.

Commines's "graphic style … and above all the keenness of his insight into the motives of his contemporaries, an insight undimmed by undue regard for principles of right and wrong, make this work one of the great classics of history" (Britannica). Often referred to as the "French Machiavelli", he shares affinities with the Italian political thinker, particularly in his pragmatic and unsentimental approach to power.

Willems 634; Tchemerzine III, p. 468 ("jolie édition elzévirienne très recherchée").

Cute soap and sponge caddy
Color: Black
Good product! I like how the water drips down into the sink. Instead of on the back of the sink. Helps keep the area cleaner and dry.

Aesthetically pleasing to the eye
Color: Black
This product is a good organizer for the song it serves its purpose. However I wish the tray that catches the water would stay in place. It is constantly moving and doesn’t always tilt to allow the water to flow down properly. The quality of the basket is good. It is easy to keep clean. It was super easy to assemble did not require any special tools. So far so good it is withstanding being wet all the time and I do not see any rust or deterioration or fading of the color in the two months I’ve had it. This sink organizer is modern and adds a nice aesthetic to my kitchen.
