Abstract: This paper studies algebraic and analytic structures associated with the Lerch zeta function, extending the complex variables viewpoint taken in part II. The Lerch transcendent $Phi(s,z,c)$ is obtained from the Lerch zeta function $zeta(s,a,c)$ by the change of variable $z=e^{2piia}$. We show that it analytically continues to a maximal domain of holomorphy in three complex variables $(s,z,c)$ as a multivalued function defined over the base manifold $$. and compute the monodromy functions defining the multivaluedness. For positive integer values s=m and c=1 this function is closely related to the classical m-th order polylogarithm $L{i}_m(z)$ We study its behavior as a function of two variables $(z,c)$ for special values where s=m is an integer. For $mge1$ it gives a one-parameter deformation of the polylogarithm, and satisfies a linear ODE with coefficients depending on c, of order m+1 of Fuchsian type. We determine its (m+1)-dimensional monodromy representation, which is a non-algebraic deformation of the monodromy of $L{i}_m(z).$
