By Thomas L'Escot

Translation and reproduction of a newly discovered rare book!

This exciting little booklet Alexis Firmaco, ou Antidote Pour Passer la Melancolie (Alexis Firmaco or The Antidote for Overcoming Melancholy) is a wonderful example of the pamphlet literature that proliferated in the 16th and 17th centuries. This is especially charming because it is illustrated. Among other items described are the Chattering Skull and the Linking Rings.

The original is reproduced in color and translated from the French into English. 24pp. 5.2" x 8.5"
