About This Item
Original 1733 Jac. Augusti Thuani Historiarum Tomus Tertius - Volume III
Published by Samuel Buckley in London 1733 from the writings of historian Jacques Auguste de Thou ((Thuanus) (died in 1617) with Pierre Dupuy and Nicolas Rigault.
De Thou was treated as a classic, an honour which he deserved. His history is a model of exact research, drawn from the best sources, and presented in an elegant and animated style; unfortunately, even for the men of the Renaissance, Latin was a dead language; it was impossible for de Thou to find exact equivalents for technical terms of geography or of administration.

Jacques Auguste de Thou ((Thuanus) October 8, 1553, Paris – May 7, 1617, Paris was a French historian, book collector and president of the Parlement de Paris.

About The Franklin Bookstore
The Franklin Bookstore began in 1996 by Robert & Ruth Lynn in Humboldt, Tennessee. Retiring from the Navy and a business career and always a history buff, Robert and Ruth opened the business of selling and dealing with rare books, magazines and newspapers. Many items were acquired from other rare books dealers from across the country. The Franklin Bookstore continues with his offspring mindful to keep the high ethical business examples that Dad established. We feel honored to be associated with such a virtual history of the printed word, inherently beautiful and fascinating artifacts of our cultural past. Every item we offer is guaranteed to be absolutely genuine and as described. A large part of the inventory is periodicals that date from the Revolutionary War to World War II and into the 21 century.
