Hardcover. Condizione: Fair. Burt's Home Library Edition. Very uncommon title extracted from Michelet's History of France. Red cloth hardcover boards with gilt lettering. Boards with heavy wear and staining; pages very dusty with damp staining and soiling, especially to the end pages. Fair only. Jules Michelet (1798 - 1874) was a French historian. He was born in Paris to a family with Huguenot traditions. In his 1855 work, Histoire de France (History of France), Jules Michelet was the first historian to use and define the word Renaissance ('Re-birth' in French) as a period in Europe's cultural history that represented a drastic break from the Middle Ages, creating a modern understanding of humanity and its place in the world.
