Description:
1681 1ed Richard II of England Life & Reign Hundred Years War Medieval Howard

Richard II of England was a 14th-century King of England who withstood major difficulties such the Hundred Years' War and the infamous Peasant's Revolt. His reputation has lived famously, much in part to William Shakespeare whose play 'Richard II' is one of the best literary works on the King's life and reign.
Author information from Wing, attributed to Howard, a 17th-century playwright who defended the royal crown during the English Civil War. He was worried; however, that his stance would contribute negatively to his work, so he published 'Life and Reign' anonymously as 'a person of quality'.

Description:
1640 History of Holy War CRUSADES Jerusalem ISLAM Ottoman Turks Thomas Fuller

Thomas Fuller was a 17th-century English historian who particularly notable for his historical accounts of English worthies and the Church of England. In 1639, Fuller wrote 'History of the Holy War' – a popular book on the Crusades, taken from several notable and accurate accounts. It is curious though, Fuller wrote this work with an incredible amount of wit and humor, so much so that he included stories unrelated to the Crusades just to fill pages! According to Tyerman,
"Thomas Fuller's 'History of the Holy Warre is one of the more interesting histories of the crusades written by an Englishman."
While several works concerning the Crusades were written and published over the 17th- and 18th-centuries, Thomas Fuller's was the first Anglican view of the Crusades and the first in English following the Reformation. Modern Crusades scholars such as Christopher Howse describe Fuller's account as a mocking of the Crusades and the… Read More

Description:
1617 1ed King Louis IX France CRUSADES Joinville Beaulieu Menard RARE Knights

Louis IX of France was a 13th-century king, known for his 54 year reign of the French throne. His rule was highlighted by reforms made to the royal justice system, the annexation of Maine and Provence, and perhaps most notably his leadership in the 7th and 8th Crusades.

The majority of what we know of Louis IX's life comes from Jean de Joinville (the king's counselor) and his "Life of Saint Louis". Joinville offers details on the king's life and reign, but the majority of the book focuses on the Seventh Crusade and Louis's time spent in the Holy Land during the wars.

This 1617 first edition of Joinville's "Louis IX" was collected and edited by Claude Menard. This fine edition was bound with, as all examples of this edition are, Georffroy de Beaulieu's "Sancti Ludovici francorum regis, vita" – a continuation of Joinville's work.

1939 MEIN KAMPF 1st ed / 1st Adolf Hitler World War II Germany Anti-Semitism MAP

Adolf Hitler's "Mein Kampf," was written during his time in prison following his failed coup attempt in Munich in 1923. This controversial work serves as both an autobiography and a manifesto outlining Hitler's political ideology and plans for Germany's future. Its content reflects Hitler's extreme beliefs, including his antisemitism, ultranationalism, and fervor for Aryan supremacy. It also details his frustrations with the Treaty of Versailles and the perceived threats he believed were undermining the German state. Hitler's Nazi ideology has had a profoundly negative impact on history, setting the stage for World War II and the Holocaust.

This rare first American edition was printed at the start of World War II, intended to be distributed to the public so they could understand the American enemy. This book features a full-page map of Europe during the right of Nazi Germany.
