Synopsis

In 1678 French moralist La Rochefoucauld (1616-80) compiled into a definitive collection his cynical observations and comments about people at the court of Louis XIV, in Paris, and in the provinces. Here a computer-aided concordance of the readily- available Garnier-Flammarion edition locates every word, quotes all or part of the maxim that contains it, and notes how many times it appears. Also included are an index to general topics, and a list of words by frequency. Except for an English version of the Preface, all is in French. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
