Leaves from Histoire ancienne jusqu'à César, about 1390-1400. Additional Info:A medieval historical compilation drawing on the Bible and the works of classical authors, the French text of the Ancient History until the Reign of Caesar (Histoire ancienne jusqu'à César) was intended to explain the moral meaning of historical events to lay readers. Originally conceived as a universal history stretching from the creation of the world through the first years of the 1200s, the never-completed work ends during the reign of Caesar.
