Summary "Les Bourbons bibliophiles, Rois & Princes, Reines & Princesses" by Eugène Asse is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work explores the passion for books among the Bourbon royal family, detailing the contributions of various princes and princesses to the literary world. It is likely to appeal to readers interested in bibliophilia, royal history, and the cultural impact of literature. The opening of the book introduces the legacy of bibliophiles among the Bourbons, tracing their love for books back to the 14th century with the dukes of Bourbon. It highlights notable figures such as Louis II, who established a significant collection in Moulins, and Jean II, who not only led military victories but also cherished scholarly pursuits. The portion elaborates on the growing importance of libraries within the Bourbon lineage, setting the stage for a detailed examination of their literary collections and the broader cultural context in which these royals operated.
