Written by Michel Eyquem, commonly known as Michel de Montaigne, one of the most significant philosophers of the French Renaissance known for popularizing the essay as a literary genre. Translated by Giovanni Florio, known as John Florio, an English linguist, poet, writer, translator, lexicographer, and royal language tutor at the Court of James I. Publisher's advertisements to the rear, lacking pages 5 and 6.
Condition
