Description
VILLEDIEU, Mme de - Les Amours des grands hommes. Amsterdam, Pierre Mortier, 1688. 2 volumes composed of five parts, in one vol. in-12, (2) ff, 592 pp, (2) ff (catalogue), ivory vellum of the epoch, qqs. light spots, renewed endpapers.
In novelistic form, these are the loves of Solon, Socrates, Caesar and Cato (the first 2 parts the only ones admitted by Mme de Villedieu). Bussy, d'Andelot and Alcibiade have been added. In Solon and Socrates, Madame de Villedieu delights in demystifying the moral virtue of these two great men, who also succumbed to amorous passion.
