Hardcover Book in Very Good Condition with a Good Dust Jacket in clear archival protective jacket cover. These letters to Maximilian II concerning De Busbecq's missions to the French Court touch upon many aspects of the history of France during a critical period of the 16th century. These 37 letters cover the period from Aug, 1574 to Feb. 1576 . They present a clearer understanding of the religious strife, political unrest, and economic difficulties which threatened the security of the country and complicated the relations of the Valois monarchy with neighboring states. Binding of green cloth w/red titles on spine and front, very clean and unmarked with lightly scuffed bottom corners and spine ends, and gently bumped upper corners. Tight and solid sewn binding. Endpaper has a scuffy area in the center, as from something being removed, a bookplate perhaps. Pages are quite clean, completely unmarked, lightly toned. Period jacket in greens and reds is generally clean, rubbed, on front; spine and back are age and/or dust dulled; spine ends chipped, other light edgewear. It does present a rather nice old historical look. 180 pages. 8.75 x 5.75 inches. Bookman Associates, New York, 1961.
