Charles-Édouard Levillain. Le procès de Louis XIV
The name François-Paul de Lisola has been legendary in the history of Europe for his scathing Buckler of State and Justice against Louis XIV. We have not, however, heard much more about him since the monumental biography published by Alfred Francis Pribram in 1894 and a somewhat shorter one by Emile Longin in 1900. We were just about due, therefore, for an updating, and Charles-Édouard Levillain has furnished it, employing previously unconsulted …
The Three Testaments of Cardinal Mazarin
The testament of Cardinal Mazarin is quite notorious for some of its extraordinary provisions, but no one seems to have ever noticed its most disturbing feature, namely, that it has come down to us in three texts of different lengths. I identify these texts and demonstrate beyond question that the additions to the two longer texts were inserted after the decease of Cardinal Mazarin, under the direction of Jean-Baptiste Colbert. I also describe th…

From D’Avaux to Dévot
This article attempts to reformulate the classic question of whether the Thirty Years War was political or religious by examining the career of the Count d’Avaux, one of Cardinal Richelieu’s principal agents in Germany and, in the time of Mazarin, one of France’s plenipotentiaries at the Congress of Westphalia. All three men made a distinction between a political and religious war, but where they differed, and where D’Avaux was closer to Richelie…

The art of diplomacy
In 1716, the French diplomat and author Francois de CalliEres published the treatise De la Maniere de negocier avec les souverainsoan outstandingly successful manual of advice for diplomats, perhaps the best of its kind ever written. It has become the classic text, highly regarded by 18th century statesmen, who considered it essential reading for prospective diplomats, and by modern historians who have praised its insights into the conventions an…

Louis XIV's Memoires pour l'histoire de la guerre de Hollande
Louis XIV's writings on the Dutch War have always been something of an enigma to professional historians. Emerging almost imperceptibly from the earlier Memoires pour linstruction du Dauphin with two brief notes for 1670 and 1671, the manuscripts are limited in coverage, revision, and interest, although texts have come down to us for the years 1672, 1673, 1674, and 1678. The king's authorship is hard to deny, since most of the documents are in hi…
