SULLY, Maximilien de Bethune, duc de (1559-1641). Memoires des sages et royalles oeconomies d'estate domestiques, politiques et militaires de Henry le Grand, l'exemplaire des Roys, le prince des vertus, des armes & des loix, & le pere en effet de ses peuples François. Amsterdam: Alethinosgraphe de Clearetimelee and Graphexechon de Pistariste [i.e. Château de Sully], n.d. [but 1638].
2 volumes in one, 2° (355 x 232 mm). Handcolored publisher’s device on title-pages, typographic headpieces. (Some mostly marginal staining, browning, lacking errata vol.2, N3 vol.I with repaired tear touching a few letters, last leaf torn with a few losses in blank spaces and laid down.) Contemporary calf (worn, rebacked). Provenance: Early shelfmark on fore-edge; Trinity College, Dublin duplicate (stamps on a few leaves and manuscript note dated 1882).
SCARCE FIRST EDITION. Brunet states that the “Paralellels de cesar et de Henry le Grand” are printed in Roman characters in the first edition and are to be found on pp.469-476; they are in Roman type in the present copy, though they are on pp.470-479. Lacking errata present in some copies, but not called for in Brunet. Sully’s memoirs are very valuable for the history of the time and are, in part, Sully’s autobiography. Brunet V: 589-590.
