We cannot be sure which book it was. For sake of illustration, though, let us say the first volume, and which we know he had and used, was a leather-bound, gold-and-marble-edged translation of a French book called Complete Woman, by one Jacques du Boscq. Pub- lished in London in 1639, it had been translated by a man identified only as “N.N.” hmm.. who knew NN was that old?  p.s. This is a quote from "The Professor and the Madman" |
