Paul de Rapin, more commonly known as Thoyras, was a 17th-century French Huguenot historian who is primarily remembered for his ‘History of England’. First published in 1724, ‘Histoire d’Angleterre’ begins with the ancient Britons and the Norman Conquest, William the Conqueror, through the reigns of Elizabeth I, Charles I, King James II, and finally William and Mary.

 

While the early French editions of Thoyras’s “England” are quite popular, none are as desirable as this 1732 Tindal English edition. This enormous, two-volume edition is complete with full-page engravings and folding maps including the highly coveted double-page map of Great Britain and Ireland! Other illustrations include portraits of English kings and queens, monuments and graves, and an impressive folding map of France!

 

It should be noted that Tindal’s English translation was, according to the ODNB,

“an important contributor to the remarkable success of Rapin’s History. His footnotes added extra topical detail and recounted well-known legends about English history.”
