Henri Estienne, Theodore Beza (rector of the university and professor of theology), and Jacques Lect (Lectius), were indeed men of superior learning.
Their intercourse, which was wholly by letter, for they never met, passes through the stages of civility, admiration, esteem, regard and culminates in a tone of the tenderest affection and mutual confidence.

De pueris instituendis, written in Italy though not published until 1529, is the clearest statement of Erasmus' enormous faith in the power of education.
For example, in the colloquy “Inquisitio de fide” (1522) a Catholic finds to his surprise that Lutherans accept all the dogmas of the faith, that is, the articles of the Apostles' Creed.
He nonetheless encouraged such discussion in De sarcienda ecclesiae concordia (1533), which suggested that differences on the crucial doctrine of justification might be reconciled by considering a duplex justitia, the meaning of which he did not elaborate.

After the death of Henry IV, de Thou had a disappointment; the queen regent, Marie de Medici, refused him the position of premier président of the parlement, appointing him instead as a member of the Conseil des finances intended to take the place of Sully.

Henry IV appointed De Thou as grand maître of the royal library in 1593, and this ardent bibliophile succeeded admirably in augmenting the royal collection of books, especially by acquiring the rich library of Catherine de Medici.
De Thou's chief work was the remarkable Historia sui temporis, the first section of which appeared in 1604, prefaced by a long and interesting letter of dedication to the king.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 97.9.23
Le pouvoir des bibliothèques is not intended as a collective history of libraries but rather as a series of retrospective views of the roles, functions, meanings, and (yes) power of western libraries.
But, as Jacques Revel nicely points out, De Thou's celebrated collection was an important part of a larger vision on the part of its creator.
Built at great personal and material expense during the chaos of the French wars of religion, the library was an expression of De Thou's irenicism and his attempt to create institutional ways of restoring peace to a fractured society.

With regard to this work some controversy at once arose over the author's treatment of Mary, queen of Scots.
It was asserted that Camden altered his original narrative in order to please James I., and, moreover, that the account which he is said to have given to his friend, the French historian, Jacques de Thou, differed substantially from his own.
In 1838 the Camden Society was founded in his honour, and much valuable work has been done under its auspices.

 De Thou on François Viète
Jacques-Auguste De Thou (1553-1617) was a French historian famed for his work Historia sui temporis written in Latin.
De Thou was a friend of Viète, so the biographical details he presents in his L'Histoire concerning his friend provide a fascinating insight.
But at this time this generous man did not recognise the full merit of his adversary, and thus could not forebear to show resentment when he was corrected by him although he had not in fact fully examined the logic of his own argument.

These men Roelker holds as the most representative of the socio-juridical group--the judges of the Parlement of Paris--whom she seeks to track across the tumultuous terrain of the sixteenth century and whose mentalite she seeks to understand and explain.
L'Estoile, de Thou, Du Vair, Pasquier-- this is a familiar roll-call of the politiques about whom all seiziémistes have long known seemingly all there is to know.
She seeks to determine the "elements of the mind-set of the elite leadership of the gens de robe", and her central point is that this mentalite was steeped in religion and legal tradition, and thus, from the Pragmatic Sanction of 1438 well into the seventeenth century, religious issues cannot be isolated from the "constitutional complex".
