Jean, sire de Joinville: Histoire de Saint Louis; Credo; et Lettre áa Louis X [French]

By Jean de Joinville and Natalis de Wailly

Book Overview

This volume brings together three essential texts by Jean de Joinville: "Histoire de Saint Louis," Joinville's biography of King Louis IX; his "Credo," a statement of his religious beliefs; and his letter to Louis X. "Histoire de Saint Louis" offers a unique and intimate portrait of the king, written by a close companion and participant in the Seventh Crusade. Joinville's account provides invaluable insights into the character, piety, and reign of Saint Louis, as well as vivid descriptions of medieval life, warfare, and courtly culture. The inclusion of Joinville's personal "Credo" and his letter to Louis X enriches our understanding of his faith and his perspectives on governance.

This edition offers readers a comprehensive view of Joinville's literary and historical contributions, making it an indispensable resource for scholars and anyone interested in medieval history, the Crusades, and the life of Saint Louis.
