About This Item
Paris: J.-L.-J.-Brière, Libraire, 1826 WYSIWYG pricing--no added shipping charge for standard shipping within USA. Ex-Library. Rebound by library in brown buckram, overcast sewing, viii, 460 pp. Usual library markings, heavily foxed, repaired tear in title page, repaired tear & one other tear in margin of last page, otherwise about very good as rebound. Two roughly contemporary histories of William the Conqueror, in French. William, a monk of Jumiège, retold the earlier history of Normandy written by Dudo then appended a history of his own times, beginning with the accession of Duke Richard III, followed by his brother Robert, father of the Conqueror. He carried the narrative on to King Henry I of England, son of the Conqueror, although there are doubts about the authorship of later parts of this history. William of Poitiers served as the Conqueror's chaplain. According to Encyclopaedia Britannica (11th Ed., 1911), the extant portion of Poitiers' chronicle "is valuable for details of the Conqueror's life, although untrustworthy with regard to affairs in England.... It was written between 1071 and 1077, and was used by Orderic Vitalus." Shipping weight 2 lbs. (International 1 lb., 12 oz.). . G/No dj. 21 X 13 cm.
