Antoine de La Sale (Fifteench Century)

La Sale, Antoine de (lä-säl’). A French mediæval romancer (1398–1470). Among his works may be mentioned the ‘Chronicle of Little John of Saintré,’ a historical romance exemplifying the ideal knightly education of the time. His ‘Fifteen Joys of Wedlock’ is a witty satire on marriage. He wrote also ‘A Hundred New Novels,’ stories purporting to be recounted by personages attached to the court of his patron, Philip the Good, of Flanders.
