Second volume : tear on the page of the forgery.
Re-edition of the work dedicated by the famous 17th century preacher Bossuet to his pupil, the dolphin of France. In this work, the master set himself the goal of perfecting the education of the future monarch by telling him about the Kingdom of France, decadent Antiquity and Charlemagne's holy empire. For him, history is punctuated by the interventions of the Creator, all of which are aimed at the triumph of Christianity.
