August 19, 1644
LES AVANTAGES REMPORTEZ PAR..., Paris, France, August 19, 1644 

* Very rare 17th century periodical

This issue predates the earliest English language newspaper we have in our inventory. 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 13 years previous in 1631 by Théophraste Renaudot but with influential backing by the powerful Cardinal de Richelieu. Being an "extra" issue the focus was on a singular event, this title translating to: "Win Benefits The Duke of Enguien Over The Army of Bavaria".

This small-size issue of ten pages (measures 6 1/8 by 8 1.2 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 one of the earliest dated newspapers currently available to your collection. In excellent condition.
