Henri Estienne: Traite Preparatif A L'Apologie Pour Herodote

Front Cover
Librairie Droz, 2007 - 1216 pages
The Apology for Herodotus, published in 1566, is Henri Estienne's most famous work. It presents a denouncement against all forms of abuse and deception, whether performed by merchants, doctors, lawyers or - worst of all - clerics. Ostensibly designed to show how the strange stories in Herodotus are paralleled by equally strange ones in modern times, the Apology is bitterly satirical of Estienne's own age.
