Large 8vo.
½ contemporary fawn calfskin, author’s name in gold lettering and black title label on a ribbed spine.
A fascinating study in which language intersects with the history and way of life of a people. Essential reading for any Occitanist. Featuring this beautiful quote from Montaigne: ‘and let the Gascon go there, if the Frenchman cannot’.
Also included: FÉRET (Édouard): *Illustrated Yearbook of the Whole South-West*, comprising the leading families and notable figures of Bordeaux and the departments of Gironde, Lower Charente, Charente, Dordogne, Lot-et-Garonne, the Landes, the Basses-Pyrénées, the Gers and the Hautes-Pyrénées. 1911–1912.

A veritable treasure trove of information on the ‘world’ of the south-west in the early 20th century. The first edition is thought to date from 1903–1904.
