1751 Sciences of Louis XIV France 1^st Claude Lambert Histoire Litteraire | 11v

Claude Francois Lambert’s “Histoire Litteraire” is a comprehensive collection works which document the scholarly achievements during the reign of Louis XIV of France. Lambert, an 18^th-century writer, organized this collection into various disciplines, including: theology, oration, law, philosophy, physics and chemistry, anatomy, botany, literature, architecture, visual art, and philology.

Each of these subjects includes writings and biographies of the most famous men of their discipline such as Descartes, Pascal, Moliere, Jean-Jacques Racine, Bossuet and his sermons on mysticism, Le Brun, and many others.

This 11-volume set is curious. It is part of the original publisher’s proof with curious blank pages spread throughout the volumes. Nevertheless, this work is a highly desirable commentary on the most important works and minds from Louis XIV-era France.
