ASSOCIATE EDITORS CHARLES F. HORNE, Ph.D. JOHN RUDD, LL.D. COPYRIGHT, 1905 The binding of this volume is a facsimile of the original on exhibition in the BibliothÈque Nationale. It was executed by the Royal Binder, Clovis Eve, for Marie de' MÉdicis, Queen Consort of Henry IV of France. She was a great lover of fine arts, and especially of rich bindings. The one here shown was her special pride. It shows her arms—the arms of France and Tuscany—surrounded with the cordeliÈre, the sign of her widowhood, accompanied by the monogram M.M. (Marie MÉdicis). She was exiled by Cardinal Richelieu in 1631. |
