The scarce first edition of Saliat's translation of the complete Histories of Herodotus, being the extremely popular first French edition and arguably the most important French edition of the work ever published. Saliat's monumental 1556-translation of Herodutus was extremely influential end widely used and quoted. It greatly influenced the way that Herodotus was used and understood in Renaissance France. It was used by virtually all contemporary French intellectuals as the main reference - as for instance Sandys points out, it is from this that all of Montaigne's Herodotus-quotations are taken (Sandys, vol. II, p. 197). Pierre Saliat had published a small work in 1552 consisting the the first three books of Herodotus, and in 1556, his monumental translation of the complete work appeared" for the first time, all nine books were accessible in the French language. ""Little is known of Saliat's life except that he had produced two previous translations from Latin, Erasmus' ""On Methods of Instructing Children"" and a collection of Roman speeches. Both translations of Herdotus are dedicated to the king, Henry II, and Saliat notes that the work on the first three books had taken him six years to complete and that it had taken him a further five years to translate the remaining six books. In the preface to the 1556 translation, Saliat compares at length the scale and grandeur of the Persian Wars with Henry's recent invasion of Germany. Henry's deeds are portrayed as greater than those described by Herodotus... [The preface] reads as a salutary encomium of Henry's military and political prowess."" (Brill's Companion to the Reception of Herodotus in Antiquity and Beyond, p. 127). In short, Saliat views Herodotus' work as a manual for or collection of examples of warfare that is fully transferable to other times, rather than a mere memoralization of great deeds.

Avec 4 planches dépliantes représentant la tour et la ville de Babylone, les jardins et le palais de Sémiramis. Première édition d'Henri Estienne de la traduction en latin de l'humaniste italien Lorenzo Valla (1406-1457), qui a beaucoup souffert a cause de ses idees conciliantes envers l'esprit classique avant l' arrivee du pape Nicholas V. (Erasme, dans son De ratione studii pour la grammaire latine, "il n'y pas meilleur guide que L. Valla"). L'apologie pour Herodote valut a H. Estienne les attaques de l'eglise, de Sorbonne et du Palais car c'etait une critique indirecte contre les moeurs de son epoque. Grandes marges avec de critiques, quelqu'unes manuscrites (anciennes) et aussi a la 1e feuille blanche. Page de titre gravee, restauree, mouillure claire a qq pages du milieu. Reliure parchemin contemp. decolorie a sa moitie par l'humidite mais solide, dos lisse muet. Brunet, III, 122.
