Théodose Burette / Jules David - Histoire de France - 1842
Superb illustrated set of two volumes of this fabulous historical work that provides an overview of the history of France, from the most ancient times until the death of Louis XVI -
Burette divides his work into several volumes, each covering a specific period of French history. He uses various historical sources to support his narratives, including official documents, chronicles, and testimonies.
The book begins with a description of the early Gallic populations and their way of life. Burette then explores the Roman invasion and the integration of Gaul into the Roman Empire. He describes the barbarian invasions and the fall of the Roman Empire, followed by the establishment of the Frankish kingdoms under Clovis and his successors. The author also devotes detailed chapters to the Merovingian, Carolingian, and Capetian dynasties, highlighting the significant events and emblematic figures of each period.
This book is a valuable resource for historians and lovers of French history.
