Eclaircissemens historiques sur les origines celtiques et gauloises

First edition, rare.
Contemporary full marbled sheep binding. Smooth spine decorated. Red morocco title label. One tear at head. Rubbing.
Abridged study of the most common questions on the ancient origins of France, drawn from the best works on the subject (origins of the Gauls, first Greeks in Gaul, first Germans, customs and traditions of the Gauls...). Father Martin of the learned congregation of Saint Maur drew his material from rigorous and critical study of ancient authors. An interesting work for its concision and the multitude of questions it addresses.
