DU VAIR, Guillaume] - De L'Eloquence françoise. By G. D. V. Rouen, Claude Le Villain, 1606. Pet. in-12, 287 ff, contemporary vellum with flaps, cords.
First published in 1594, this treatise is a manifesto in favour of simple and direct eloquence, free from the pompous digressions drawn from Antiquity, which often cluttered the harangues of his contemporaries. Includes his translation of two orations by Aeschines and Demosthenes, as well as Appius Claudius and Cicero.
