Autobiographia Beniamini Franklinii

Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, Latine scilicet Autobiographia Beniamini Franklinii, est usitatum nomen imperfectorum Beniamini Franklinii suae vitae actorum ab anno 1771 ad 1790 scriptorum; Franklinius autem ipse opus suas Memoirs ('Memoriae') appellavisse videtur. Hoc opus, quamquam sua historia editorialis post mortem auctoris est multiplex, unum ex praeclarissimis et potentissimis autobiographiae exemplis umquam scriptis factum est.

Relatio Frankliniana suae vitae in quattuor partes dividitur, quarum quaeque tempora varia ostendit cum eas scriberet. Sunt hiatus inter primas partes tres, set narratio partis tertiae in quartam partem sine intervallo auctoris extenditur.
