See also:DAVILA, ENRICO CATERINO (1576-1631) , See also:Italian historian, was descended from a See also:Spanish See also:noble See also:family. His immediate ancestors had been constables of the See also:kingdom of See also:Cyprus for the Venetian See also:republic since 1464. But in 1570 the See also:island was taken by the See also:Turks; and See also:Antonio Davila, the See also:father of the historian, had to leave it, despoiled of all he possessed. He travelled into See also:Spain and See also:France, and finally returned to See also:Padua, and at Sacco on the 3oth of See also:October 1576 his youngest son, Enrico Caterino, was See also:born. About 1583 Antonio took this son to France, where he became a See also:page in the service of See also:Catherine de' See also:Medici, wife of See also:- KING

field. But during the whole of this active life, many details of which are very. interesting as illustrative of the life and See also:manners of the time, he never lost sight of a See also:design which he had formed at a very See also:early See also:period, of See also:writing the See also:history of those civil wars in France in which he had See also:borne a See also:part, and during which he had had so many opportunities of closely observing the leading See also:person-ages and events. This See also:work was completed about 1630, and was offered in vain by the author to all the publishers in Venice. At last one Tommaso Baglfoni, who had no work for his presses, undertook to See also:print the See also:manuscript, on See also:condition that he should be See also:free to leave off if more promising work offered itself. The See also:printing of the Istoria delle guerre civili di See also:Francia was, however, completed, and the success and See also:sale of the work were immediate and enormous. Over two See also:hundred See also:editions followed, of which perhaps the best is the one published in See also:Paris in 1644. Davila was murdered, while on his way to take See also:possession of the See also:government of See also:Cremona for Venice in See also:July 1631, by a See also:ruffian, with whom some dispute seems to have arisen concerning the furnishing of the relays of horses ordered for his use by the Venetian government.
The Istoria was translated into See also:French by G. Baudouin (Paris, 1642) ; into Spanish by Varen de Seto (See also:Madrid, 1651, and See also:Antwerp, 1686) ; into See also:English by W. See also:Aylesbury (See also:London, 1647), and by See also:Charles Cotterel (London, 1666), and into Latin by Pietro See also:Francesco Cornazzano (See also:Rome, 1745). The best See also:account of the life of Davila is that by Apostolo See also:Zeno, prefixed to an edition of the history printed at Venice in 2 vols. in 1733. See also:- PETER

Peter See also:Bayle is severe on certain See also:historical inaccuracies of Davila, and it is true that Davila must be read with due remembrance of the fact that he was not only a See also:Catholic but the especial protege of Catherine de' Medici, but it is not to be forgotten that Bayle was as strongly See also:Protestant.
