The Instructions of Saint Louis

Focusing on the historical context, this work presents Saint Louis's second set of recommendations to his daughter Isabelle, who would later become Queen of Navarre.

This scholarly approach highlights the nuances in the text, offering insights into the personal and political guidance intended for Isabelle.
