- W2025812166 abstract "The Commentarii of Stephanus Vitellius is an original manuscript previously unpublished that was kept in the Abbey of St Denis until it was rediscovered and translated by the editors. This is a rare document that was accompanied by a no less remarkable map portraying the battle that took place on 10 November 1567 on the plain that stretched between St Denis and Paris. The map dressed by the royal cartographer André Thévet was printed and purchased by Étienne Vitelli to illustrate his own commentary and is reproduced here at the end of this edition. Vitelli was a cleric who taught in one of the colleges of the south bank and his confessional allegiance is clear: he was a catholic that was sympathetic to the Guise and their agenda of maintaining the catholicity of the French crown at all cost. The Battle of Saint-Denis was an important episode of the wars of religion and followed the change of heart of Catherine de’ Medici away from conciliation following the Surprise of Meaux (Robert J. Knecht, Catherine de’ Medici, Longman, 1998). At Meaux, the royal family had narrowly escaped capture at the hands of the Protestant forces, and it is here described in detail with a precision that only a contemporary who lived in Paris at the time could provide. Moreover, it would seem that Vitelli was a direct eye-witness of the Battle of Saint-Denis that took place just outside the city walls of the capital, so to speak on his doorstep. The death in battle of a veteran of the Italian wars, founding member of the triumvirate, the connétable Anne de Montmorency was particularly shocking to contemporaries and owed him to be represented in miniature on Thévet’s incredibly detailed map appended to the text. Lombard-Jourdan and Smith have established here an impeccable edition of the text with a very good French translation face to face with the original Latin complete with a scholarly apparatus that the very good école des Chartes series is accustomed to. The account is peppered with classical references and comparisons with Italy, an attempt to enlighten and impress the dedicatee of the work, the author’s parent, the cardinal Vitellozzo Vitelli, bishop of Carcassonne, who was most probably, like himself, Italian. A reminder that the wars of religion in France were first and foremost compared with episodes of Roman history and framed within the classical mindset of the Renaissance." @default.
