1657 Frankish King CLOVIS Desmarets Epic Poem Christian PAGAN French Illustrated
Jean Desmaretss famous epic poem Clovis has long been considered one of the most important works of poetry pertaining to the triumph of Christianity over paganism. Clovis, the 5th-century Frankish king, was born into paganism but his conversion heavily influenced his expanded rule over most of Gaul. Scholars agree that Clovis is the first modern Christian epic and contends with many of the ancient epics.
This 1657 Elzevier edition was published in Rouen – the publishing information on the title page is false. (Willems).
