The illegitimate son of a woman from Orléans and an unknown father, for a time wrongly assumed to be François I, Étienne Dolet came to Paris at the age of twelve, where he was educated. In 1526, he went to Italy, where he stayed until 1530, before moving to Toulouse to study law. There, he studied the works of Cicero, and became involved in the Ciceronian quarrel, a movement to restore the purity of Cicero's language. He settled in Lyon in 1535, where he had his Commentariorum Linguae Latinae printed. Commentariorum Linguae Latinae, then obtained from François I the privilege of printing for ten years. He published numerous works in the fields of theology, literature and medicine, and edited the works of Marot and Rabelais. Accused of printing books tainted with heresy, he was first imprisoned for fifteen months at the Conciergerie de Paris, and in 1543 saw thirteen of his works condemned to the flames by the Parlement de Paris on the grounds that they spread a damnable, pernicious and heretical doctrine. pernicious and heretical doctrine. Arrested again in Lyon, he fled to Italy, returned to Lyon and published a translation of Plato's Asciochus, in which Plato says to Socrates: After death, you will be nothing at all. For this denial of the immortality of the soul, he was declared a atheist. Sentenced to the stake, he was executed on August 3, 1546, and burned with his books. His Gestes de Francoys de Valois roy de France relates the history of François I from 1513 to 1530. The work is to the king's credit, and the account of the disaster at Pavia is as glorious for him as the victory at Marignan: Le Roy... ne s'espargnoit aulcunement & se monstroit plein d'un cueur invincible. But in the end, by an adverse destiny, & bad fortune, the French army was defeated, & the King's horse was killed under him, & he was taken prisoner while fighting magnanimously... Such was God's will... The work was first written in Latin by Dolet, then translated into French by him. It is decorated with the printer's mark on the first and last leaves and with 5 superb lettering, 2 of which are repeated, with foliate motifs and figures on a sifted background. A very fine copy, despite small, slightly darker spots on the binding.
