Description
PATIN, Guy – Selected Letters, containing various historical details concerning the lives and deaths of the scholars of this century, their writings and several other serious matters from the year 1645 to 1672. The Hague, Henry Van Bulderen, 1707. 3 vols. in-12, brown grained calfskin of the period, decorated ribbed spine. SHF1007. The letters contain a wealth of information on the customs and social conditions of France, from the end of the reign of Louis XIII to the early years of the reign of Louis XIV, as well as on intellectual life. Written by a physician to other physicians, their caustic wit—no less than the author’s circle of acquaintances (Naudé, De Thou, the Dupuys)—made him an eminent representative of scholarly libertinism. (See Pintard, pp. 311–325).
