![12mo. [iix], 255, [1]p. CONTEMPORARY RED MOROCCO, gilt triple rule outer border, GILT ARMS OF THE DEDICATEE ÉLISABETH-CHARLOTTE DE BAVIÈRE DUCHESSE D’ORLÉANS sister-in-law to Louis XIV (Olivier 2564, 1 variant), gilt spine with her large lily in five compartments & lettered spine title in sixth, board edges gilt, edges gilt over marbling.FIRST EDITION: AMONG THE FIRST HISTORICAL WORKS WRITTEN BY A WOMAN BASED ON PRIMARY SOURCE MATERIAL. Using papers of contemporary military and political figures inherited in maternal archives, the author constructs the biography of Antonio, styled Prior of Crato and King of Portugal (1531-95), the bastard son of the Jewess Violante Gomez and Luis duke of Beja (younger son of King Emanuel). In 1578 on the death of King Sebastian at the battle of Alcazar-Kebir, Antonio too was taken prisoner. But he escaped Morocco, occupied Lisbon, claimed the Portuguese throne and stood as the only legitimate opposition to Philip V of Spain. In August 1580 Spanish forces drove Antonio to France, the Portuguese crown jewels in hand. HE PROMISED CATHERINE DE’ MEDICI BRAZIL IN EXCHANGE FOR HER SUPPORT. Instead she purchased some royal gems. This cash financed a ragtag fleet that suffered defeat in 1582. He next turned to England and in 1589 sailed thence to rally his people in revolt. Again he failed, dying in poverty at Paris six years later. This copy belonged to the dedicatee Élisabeth of Bavaria, called Madame, the second wife of Philippe d’Orléans (brother of Louis XIV): their issue ascended to the throne in 1830 (Louis Philippe). Her library passed, with few exceptions, into the Bibliothèque Nationale.

CONTEMPORARY RED MOROCCO, gilt triple rule outer border, GILT ARMS OF THE DEDICATEE ÉLISABETH-CHARLOTTE DE BAVIÈRE DUCHESSE D’ORLÉANS sister-in-law to Louis XIV (Olivier 2564, 1 variant), gilt spine with her large lily in five compartments & lettered spine title in sixth, board edges gilt, edges gilt over marbling.FIRST EDITION: AMONG THE FIRST HISTORICAL WORKS WRITTEN BY A WOMAN BASED ON PRIMARY SOURCE MATERIAL. Using papers of contemporary military and political figures inherited in maternal archives, the author constructs the biography of Antonio, styled Prior of Crato and King of Portugal (1531-95), the bastard son of the Jewess Violante Gomez and Luis duke of Beja (younger son of King Emanuel). In 1578 on the death of King Sebastian at the battle of Alcazar-Kebir, Antonio too was taken prisoner. But he escaped Morocco, occupied Lisbon, claimed the Portuguese throne and stood as the only legitimate opposition to Philip V of Spain. In August 1580 Spanish forces drove Antonio to France, the Portuguese crown jewels in hand. HE PROMISED CATHERINE DE’ MEDICI BRAZIL IN EXCHANGE FOR HER SUPPORT. Instead she purchased some royal gems. This cash financed a ragtag fleet that suffered defeat in 1582. He next turned to England and in 1589 sailed thence to rally his people in revolt. Again he failed, dying in poverty at Paris six years later. This copy belonged to the dedicatee Élisabeth of Bavaria, called Madame, the second wife of Philippe d’Orléans (brother of Louis XIV): their issue ascended to the throne in 1830 (Louis Philippe). Her library passed, with few exceptions, into the Bibliothèque Nationale. In fine condition.Cioranescu 61297; see Pearson’s Les femmes bibliophiles…Royal and Distinguished Ladies 20 & Guigard I: 109; not in Alden.")
