Isabel de Madariaga, Who was Foy de la Neuville ?
This article attempts to establish the identity of the author of the Relation curieuse de la Moscovie, which was published under the name of Foy de la Neuville. The identification with Adrien Baillet is rejected, and La Neuville is placed firmly in the Polish court. His presence as Polish envoy in England and France is substantiated, and it is suggested that he also acted as a Polish agent on his visit to Russia in 1689. His sources of information about events in Russia are briefly discussed and some doubts are raised about his description of the views of Prince V.V. Golitsyn, since the only language the two men could converse in was Latin. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
