Author: ARMAND DU PLESSIS (DUC DE RICHELIEU)
Title: Testament politique d'Armand du Plessis, cardinal duc de Richelieu
Description: chez Henry Desbordes, 1690. Leder band. Fourth edition of Richelieu's famous 'testament', which affords a unique insight into the character and ambitions of this remarkable prelate and statesman, who was chiefly responsible for the defeat of the Protestant cause in France, the ruin of the Hapsburg supremacy in Europe, and the restoration of the absolute power of the French monarch. The authenticity of this text was strongly contested, until Gabriel Hanotaux's discovery in 1880 of a major collection of Richelieu documents in the Bibliotèque Nationale, establishing its genuineness beyond a reasonable doubt.
