Gabriel Naudé, whilst in the service of the humanist-diplomat Guidi di Bagno, enjoyed the stimulating milieu of the dignitaries and literati of his day. The political intrigues of the papal court and, in general, the seething diplomatic relations between France and Italy are vividly sketched in Naudé's correspondence with Jacques Dupuy which discloses, at the same time, a wealth of information about daily life in Rome, Riète and Stockholm.
An indefatigable bibliophile, Naudé likewise gives us an inside view of the contemporary literary and social scene. His keen eye for detail and the shrewdness of his observations make for a fascinating history of the period. Professor Wolfe's meticulous deciphering and modernisation of Gabriel Naudé's original manuscript is prefaced by a historico-biographical introduction. A comprehensive index is complemented by an elaborate panoply of philological and historical notes.
