1819 Memoires of Duke of Sully France Henry IV Huguenot Utopian Europe 5v SET “A very valuable memoire of the history of the reign of Henry IV” Maximlien de Bethune was a 16 th -century French statesman who was the first Duke of Sully. Most known for his service under Henry IV of France, Sully left a collection of memoirs which is now a valuable and important work on the history of France during the reign of Henry the Great. Even though ‘Memoires’ contains many fictitious stories, it is still recognized for its accuracy and portrayal of European royalty. The most controversial section of ‘Memoires’ is Sully’s vision of a utopian society designed for all of Europe. He envisioned a Christian republic that was governed by a ‘Very Christian Council’ in which all differences were resolved and a military was complete removed. Some scholars even claim that Sully’s plan helped establish what would become the current European Union. According to Tulard, this work is a “very valuable memoire of the history of the reign of Henry IV.” Item number: #5198 Price: $550 BETHUNE, Maximilien de Duke of Sully Memoirs of the Duke de Sully, Prime Minister of Henry the Great.

I bought an item from this seller as a very special Christmas gift to my husband this year. This seller is responsive to any questions you have and takes great pride and care in packaging the item. The shipping was way faster than I expected it to be, and the item was exactly as described. The item is beautiful, and I feel that it was most definitely valued appropriately. I highly recommend this seller, and my experience was exceptionally positive.

Packaging was great and it's condition was phenomenal better than described and shown in the photos!!!! A fantastic value for it's condition compared to others on eBay. Shipping was fast but UPS did make it a complete hassle. Not the sellers fault by any means as he was quite willing to help when I messaged him! Overall a great experience except for UPS lol. I'm very excited to have this as part of my art deco bar collection!

The book arrived in a timely manner. It was in excellent condition and was package very good. I love the book, just didn't realize that it was in French. But that's ok, I still love. I have a lot of stuff on Joan of Arc, Stained glass window, bronze statue and pictures. Would definitely buy from him again.
