Dear Dispensers,
I am trying to discover whether the sonnets by his
friend Etienne La Boetie that Montaigne omitted from
the later editions of his Essais were ever
translated into English in the sixteenth or
seventeenth centuries. They were, following
Montaigne, omitted from Florio's editions, and I can
find no trace of them published in any other English
work, but they may have been so notwithstanding my
search, and they may also have circulated in
private. Does anyone have any leads?
Thanks,
Tom
