Description: The history of French galleys has never before been the subject of a book in the English language. This is surprising, since the subject has drawn much attention and many writers in France. Perhaps the nearest approximation to a treatment in English is the memoir of Jean Marteilhe, a Huguenot condemned to the galleys for his faith, who not only survived but obtained his release and wrote about his experiences from exile in Amsterdam and London. Naturally enough, French Protestants have been particularly drawn to the subject of galleys. One of the best and most assiduous of the twentieth-century scholars in this Huguenot tradition was the late Gaston Tournier. His principal work is a monumental compendium of the names and biographical sketches of Protestant galeriens, preceded by an essay on the galleys of France; those three volumes bring together the results of his earlier work and some of that by coreligionist predecessors.
Additional info: With drawings by John W. Ekstrom.
