Joan of Arc: Illustrated - Paperback

by Lord Ronald Gower (Author)

The authors whose works I have chiefly used in writing this Life of Joan of Arc, are-first, Quicherat, who was the first to publish at length the Minutes of the two trials concerning the Maid-that of her trial at Rouen in 1430, and of her rehabilitation in 1456, and who unearthed so many chronicles relating to her times; secondly, Wallon, whose Life of Joan of Arc is of all the fullest and most reliable; thirdly, Fabre, who has within the last few years published several most important books respecting the life and death of Joan. Fabre was the first to make a translation in full of the two trials which Quicherat had first published in the original Latin text.
