By Sir John Froissart, publushed in 1868. (Volume II only. Front cover has been restored and repaired. Other than that, this book is in excellent condition with beautiful color plates. Tight and clean - gold gilt on page edges still nice and bright) ^^^^^^^^^^^^ This famous 14th century chronicle was composed by medieval writer and courtier Jean Froissart (c1337-c1405) as a prose history of the Hundred Years' War between France and England. It was his second attempt at the task (the first in rhyming verse), as he wished to improve the historical accuracy and drew on several contemporary manuscripts as sources. Approaching 1.5 million words, the original four-volume history is one of the longest prose works in medieval French, and its text is preserved in more than 100 manuscript copies.
