"Of The Cannibals" was an essay originally written by the French writer Michel de Montaigne. His essay was from his massive book of "Essais" or "attempts". Montaigne is important in our Shakespeare realm because Shakespeare used his "Of the Cannibals" essay when Gonzalo is giving his famous speech of the island (2.1 : Line 147)in "The Tempest". John Florio translated Montaigne's essays in 1603 into English, as Montaigne was one of the most influential writers of the French Renaissance.
