Augustin Thierry

French historian (1795-1856) · France · On the map · Writers · Died at 61

Jacques Nicolas Augustin Thierry was a French historian. Although originally a follower of Henri de Saint-Simon, he later developed his own approach to history. A committed liberal, his approach to history often introduced a Romantic interpretation, although he did engage in research of primary sources.

Augustin Thierry is read about 39 times a day, in 27 languages.

A typical day, 30 days to 15 June 2026

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
