‎Rare first edition. An early work by the renowned author, Paul Lacroix (1807-1884), who was famous for his several important historical works and his numerous works of bibliographical contents, regarding which he can be said to have continued the tradition of Nodier. He wrote a number of historical novels, which were very popular at the time, and of which Les Deux Fous is considered one of the best. They were reprinted numerous times, and were translated into several languages" -most of them deal with the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, a period not commonly investigated at that time. Most of his works are published under pseudonym, because of which he is now best known under the name of ""Bibliophile Jacob"". Aged 28 he was awarded the cross of the ""Légion d'Honneur"" for his work on the history of the 16th century, and 1842 he founded ""L'Alliance des Arts"" together with M. Thoré. Carteret 2"14. Not in Barbier.‎
