Phraseologie Oratoire Suivi Des Lettres Amoureuses - Paperback

by Philippe Desportes (Author), Francois Rouget (Editor)

In 1579, Henri III asked a select group of scholars to put together handbooks on rhetoric and eloquence for him. The manuscript signed by Desportes, containing a "public-speaking phraseology", throws light on his contribution to Henri III's project.
