During the French civil wars, this work, following in the footsteps of Michel de Montaigne’s Essais, offered discourse that could help comfort the mind and soul. This edition places the work in its literary and intellectual context and addresses the question of who may have authored it.
- By (author) Madeleine de L’Aubespine
Review - French Ce recueil, qui s'inscrit dans le sillage des Essais de Michel de Montaigne, presente un interet tout particulier pour l'histoire de l'humanisme dans le dernier tiers du XVIe siecle. Durant les temps troubles des guerres civiles, ce petit ouvrage propose des discours a meme de procurer le repos de l'esprit et de l'ame. Rehabilitant la morale chretienne a la lumiere du stoicisme, la reflexion philosophique prend la forme d'une meditation sur l'homme, sa condition, sa destinee et conduit a une morale pratique, edifiee sur les bases de la raison. La presente edition critique aborde les questions de l'etablissement du texte et de son attribution. Il le replace egalement par rapport aux grands courants litteraires et intellectuels de l'epoque.
