"En 1576 l'humaniste Antoine de Laval produit à partir du texte de l'édition princeps publiée la même année à Paris par l'exilé florentin Jacopo Corbinelli la première version en langue française des Ricordi de Francesco Guicciardini. La traduction répond à la nécessité, très vivante en France à la fin du XVIe siècle, de préparer une sorte de vademecum pour la formation du souverain, capable de fournir des modèles universels adaptables à des situations et des contextes disparates dans la pratique politique des ambassadeurs, des conseillers et des secrétaires. Dans un moment de crise du rôle et des fonctions de la souveraineté, Antoine de Laval offre une collection de préceptes pour la cour, afin de défendre l'unité et la stabilité de la monarchie."--Back cover

Ranulf Higden (d.1364) was a monk at the abbey of St Werburgh in Chester. His most important literary work is this universal chronicle, which survives in over a hundred Latin manuscripts, testifying to its popularity. The earliest version of it dates from 1327, but Higden continued writing until his death, expanding and updating the text. It was also continued in other monastic houses, most importantly by John Malvern of Worcester. The English translation made by John Trevisa in the 1380s was also widely circulated and is included in this work, published in nine volumes for the Rolls Series between 1865 and 1886. The chronicle shows how fourteenth-century scholars understood world history and geography. Volume 2 contains the remainder of Book 1, on the description of Britain, and twenty-eight chapters of Book 2, on the early history of the world to the reign of Saul in Israel
