THE DE-THOU COPY of Estienne’s third folio Greek New Testament consisting of Beza’s third revision and in large part the edition on which the King James translators based their translation of 1611. De Thou, apart from his reputation as a bibliophile, was a celebrated diplomat, politician and lawyer. The principal work of his political career was the negotiation of the Edict of Nantes. A letter from Jeanne Veyrin Forrer to Clifford Maggs suggests that the title monogram might belong to the great nephew of the celebrated jurist, Pierre Pithou (d. 1596). Renouard 153,1; Schreiber 220; Darlow & Moule 4651.
