DJ and boards show light shelf wear.; A bright, solid book, dustjacket in Mylar, unclipped.; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; 405 pages; "This documentary history, based on eye witness reports, brings to the reader a vivid sense of the times which monographs or text seldom do. It offers an excellent overview of the Reformation in France, of the causes of the Huguenot Wars, and of the relationship between political and religious divisions in French society up to the reign of Louis XIV. With this setting the documents bring the entire period alive and what is most important is that the book is written and compiled from a European rather than a French perspective. Among the important religious and political figures who appear in the book are John Calvin, Ignatius Loyola, Catherine de Medici, Emperor Franz I of the Holy Roman Empire, Admiral Coligny Henri IV of france and the Dukes of Guise." .
