EXTRAORDINAIRE, Paris, France, October 15, 1635  (date in Roman Numerals: MDCXXXV). This issue predates the earliest English language newspaper we have in our inventory by nearly 25 years. This is an "extraordinary" issue which published simultaneously along with the GAZETTE of Paris, the very first regular newspaper published in France which started just 4 years previous in 1631 by Théophraste Renaudot but with influential backing by the powerful Cardinal de Richelieu. This small-size issue of 4 pages (measures 6 1/4 by 8 3/4 in.) All text is in French. A very rare opportunity for not only a rare title but one which predates anything of the like in most other European countries.  Also an excellent opportunity to add what is likely the earliest dated newspaper currently available to your collection. In excellent condition.
