One of the most important literary-historical finds of the twentieth century, this authentic version of the long-missing memoirs of King James II of England was discovered accidentally in in a chateau in southern France. Since , when King James personally presented the manuscript to the Cardinal de Bouillon, nephew of the Marshal of Turenne, it had been in the possession of the Turenne family, escaping the notice of scholars and historians.
There is no other example of such a royal manuscript in any country or language. Al though fragments of the memoirs have survived in a number of versions some of them of a questionable authenticity the only other com plete and accurate copies were destroyed at the time of the French Revolution.
