When translating Montaigne—and his Essais in particular—one encounters numerous pitfalls, including many false friends and some unresolved enigmas. This volume gathers solutions to these issues, providing the reader with a critical review of Montaigne’s vocabulary, drawing on the first edition (1580) as well as the French he employed in his 1569 translation of Raymond Sebond’s Theologia naturalis.
