1806 Froissart Chronicles Illustrations Hundred Years' War Medieval ChivalryThe 'Chronicles' of Jean Froissart have continually been perceived as an important work on medieval history for centuries, since its inception in the 14th-century. While some of the subjects covered are repetitive and insignificant, many topics are of utmost importance including famous battles, deaths of monarchs, and the Catholic Church Great Schism. According to Adams in the "Manual of Historical Literature,""Froissart might be called the great interviewer of the Middle Ages. The newspaper correspondent of modern times has scarcely surpassed this medieval collector of intelligence. He travelled extensively in the various countries of Europe; he conversed with gentlemen of rank everywhere; and he had the remarkable knack of persuading those about him to divulge all he wanted to know. He learned the details of battles from both sides and from every point of view. He delighted in the minutest affairs of every cavalry skirmish,… Read More

The book from Russian Imperial Library of Nicoulaus II. The proposed articles were written at different times and on different occasions, but their protagonist invariably remained that motley complex of stratifications of our Russian public, which is known under the general name - the intelligentsia: moderate and revolutionary; fussing about cheese artels and dreaming of world reorganization; following the representatives of the propertied society - in the construction of life, and composing its own - party construction, as an antithesis to this construction; the intelligentsia, gravitating towards the peasantry, and the intelligentsia, with the proletariat at the center of their political plans and socialist prospects.

New York; (1911): Thomas Y. Crowell & Co. First Edition. Quarto. no pagination, translated by T.W. Rolleston, beautifully illustrated by Willy Pogany, each page illustrated in black often with accents or red, contains 16 tipped in color plates, pictorial endpapers accented in blue, red, tan and gray. A striking production of Wagner's dramatic poem of fantasy brilliantly illustrated by Pogany, bound in gray pictorial cloth accented in blue, black and gilt, spine gilt, some general finger soiling and rubbing. A very nice copy of this spectacular work.
