ESTIENNE, HENRI. Apologie pour Hérodote; ou, Traité de la Conformité des Merveilles Anciennes avec les Modernes.
3 engraved frontispieces. 3 parts in 2 volumes. 8vo, modern black leather, joints cracked or starting; contents toned. The Hague: Henri Scheurleer, 1735
- Notes: "Henri Estienne's most popular vernacular work, one of the monuments of 16th-century French prose, and a masterpiece of the satiric genre. Ostensibly written as a defense of the veracity of the ancient Greek historian Herodotus, the book is actually a violent attack on Roman Catholicism, as well as a satire of 16th-century society"--Schreiber 161 (1566 original edition).
