MESSIE (Pierre) Les diverses leçons de Pierre Messie, gentil-homme de Séville, avec sept dialogues de l'autheurLyon, Soubron, 1592. In-8. Contemporary brown basane, spine ribbed, leather missing from head and foot boards, rubbed, corners dull, red edges. Among the different subjects treated in the seven "books", diseases and health are frequently addressed, the author having perhaps been a physician of Charles V. But Pierre MESSIE tackles all the subjects in the manner of an encyclopedist, and given his high level of reflection and erudition, he obviously addresses a public of demanding readers. It is said that Montaigne would have been one of his readers.
