Hardcover. Etat : Fair. 2nd. 2nd ed. 4 volume set. Folios. Bound in contemporary full vellum. Decorated in blind. One cover detached, some of the joints spit. Library stamps. Text printed in double columns. Browning to pages. Jacques Auguste de Thou (1553-1617) was a French historian lawyer, diplomat, and statesmen. He was also significantly, director of the Royal Library, a position that gave him a wealth of sources to work with and had an immense personal library of 9000 works. He served in the regimes of Henry III and Henry IV and replaced Sully as conseil de finances during the Medici regency (a demotion from his previous post of President of the Parlement). Thou helped negotiate the Edict of Nantes, which gave toleration to French Protestants. Thou's work is notable in his attempts to present an unbiased and scientific approach to contemporary European affairs, many of which he lived through. His work is divided into 138 books, which provide a first hand accounting of the French Wars of Religion (including the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre). Part one of his history covers recent history to 1560, (first published in 1604). The second through fifth parts of Thou's work concerns more recent history, 1560-1572, to 1574, to 1584, and finally to 1607. The first complete edition was published in 1620. His Historiarum was placed on the Index Librorum Prohibitorum, and banned by Catholic authorities in 1609 for his unflattering portrayal of Catholic authorities. Brunet V, 841 (citing 1620 ed).

FIRST EDITION OF THOU'S HISTORY OF THE 16TH CENTURY, A MASTERPIECE OF FRENCH HISTORIOGRAPHY. 18, 684, 36 pp., complete. Jacques-Auguste de Thou (1553-1617), was one of the great statesmen and scholars of his time, and the Historiarum is his most important work. THIS IS THE TRUE FIRST EDITION, printed folio (another edition, in two volumes 8vo--with some large-paper copies printed 4to--was published later the same year). Moreover, the TITLE-PAGE IS IN THE FIRST STATE, which is exceedingly rare. Beautifully printed by Robert Estienne (1559-1630), with the title in red and black and attractive woodcut head- and tail-pieces throughout. Folio. Beautifully bound in recent quarter vellum and marbled boards. FINE AND BRIGHT, both inside and out, with excellent margins and bright white paper. Peignot II, 159 (pointing out that this work was suppressed from the moment of publication). An outstanding copy of a rare and important book: the only other copy I have located of the first edition with the first-state title-page is the Oxford copy.

[4], 95, [13] pp.First complete edition, in the original Latin, of one of the most famous and longest of De Thou's poems, a didactic verse in about 2780 hexameters devoted to hunting with falcons and other birds of prey, composed in three "libri" and addressed to François, Duke of Alençon, Anjou and Brabant (1555-1584), the youngest son of the late King Henri II and Catherine de' Medici, and brother of the reigning King Henri III. It is the first major Latin work on the subject of falconry. Book 1 discusses the various kinds of birds of prey used in falconry and how to choose one, book 2 discusses their care and feeding, training and the practice of hunting with them, and book 3 discusses their medical care. De Thou (1553-1617), not yet thirty when he first published the present poem, is now considered "the most important historian of the French Renaissance". The poem ends on p. 95, with the next page containing an "important" (Harting) note about the various kinds of birds of prey used for falconry and giving their French and Latin names. The last six leaves contain Thou's 11-page letter to Philippe Huralt (1528-1599), French chancellor under King Henri III, on the subject of falconry, and on the last page the corrigenda. The preliminaries contain laudatory verses by Scévole de Sainte-Martin and Pierre Pithou. Falconry was so popular in France from the reign of François I to that of Louis XIII that it can be considered the national pastime of the French nobility, as well as the prominent clergy, military figures and politicians in that period, 1515-1643.Formerly side-stitched through 4 holes, visible in the gutter margin, the paper slightly wrinkled, B1 and B4 no longer conjugate but still securely attached, a faint marginal stain in the lower outside corner of the last few leaves and the foot of the title-page slightly thumbed, but still in very good condition and with large margins. The outer free endleaf at front and back slightly browned, but the binding also very good. The important first complete edition of a classic of falconry and a lovely piece of book production.l Adams T657; Harting, Bibl. accipitraria 306; Kinser, Works of Jacques-Auguste de Thou (1966), 7 (pp. 205-207); Souhart, col. 461; Thiébaud, col. 897; USTC 171837; cf.
