DE GOMEZ

ANECTODES OU HISTOIRE DE LA MAISON OTTOMANE

Madeleine- Angelique Poisson De GOMEZ

Amsterdam, 1734

First edition of a collection of historical anecdotes relating to the Ottoman Empire, organised chronologically and by region. Madeleine-Angélique Poisson de Gomez gives us here secret stories with a historical background but with an anecdotal and amusing character, the work is in fact a rather simple history of the Ottoman Empire up to 1699.

Mme Poisson de Gomez was a prolific writer in the early 18th century, immersing himself in a variety of genres, including drama, history and novels. Many of her novels have a historical or pseudo-historical setting.
