"Henri Estienne's most popular vernacular work, one of the monuments of 16th-century French prose, and a masterpiece of the satiric genre. Ostensibly written as a defense of the veracity of the ancient Greek historian Herodotus, the book is actually a violent attack on Roman Catholicism, as well as a satire of 16th-century society"--Schreiber 161 (1566 original edition).
