Description: "Freely translated out of the ancient French into modern English from the original unpublished manuscript in the National Archives of France." "The details of the life of Joan of Arc form a biography which is unique among the world's biographies in one respect: Itis the only story of a human life which comes to us under oath, the only one which comes to us from the witness-stand." "...the character of Joan of Arc is unique." "When we reflect that her century was the brutalest, the wickedest, the rottenest in history since the darkest ages, we are lost to wonder at the miracle of such a product from such a soil. The contrast between her and her century is the contrast between day and night."
