Thomas Fuller [1608-61] was an English historian and clergyman. The first work is on the crusades and the second is of more philosophical/theological character on how to live. Being a hsitorian, Fuller exemplifies this by giving a lot of historical portraits, illustrated with twenty half page engraved portraits, among them St. Augustine, Hildegard of Bingen, Paracelsus, Sir Francis Drake, Queen Elizabeth I, The Black Prince, the Swedish king Gustaf Adolph and Joan of Arc. Lowndes p847.
