  • The History of the Council of Trent. In Eight Books. by JURIEU, Peter.
    JURIEU, Peter.
    The History of the Council of Trent. In Eight Books. Whereunto is prefixt a discourse containing historical reflexions on councils, and particularly on the conduct of the Council of Trent, proving that the Protestants are not oblig'd to submit thereto.

    London: J. Heptinstall, for Henry Faithorne and John Kersey at the Rose, and Edward Evets at the Green Dragon in St Paul's Church-Yard, 1684. First English edition. This is a translation of Jurieu's "Abrégé de l'histoire du Concile de Trente". Bound in an attractive full red leather mid nineteenth century binding by Cecil and Larkins, with all edges gilt, gilt dentelles and titles etc. There is a little rubbing and bumping to the binding, particularly the spine edges, but overall still in very good clean condition. Marbled end papers. Inside, the work is complete, and in very good, clean condition with just a touch of foxing to the initial pages. The work is slightly darkened to the edges, but sound. The frontis plate is clean, with a touch of foxing and tiny amount of edge wear. This is not a neutral history of the council, but an argument that Protestants were not bound by the decisions of the council. The date of this printing, just a year before the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, was a fraught moment for French Protestants, and this English translation would have found a receptive audience in Restoration England, where anti-Catholic and anti-French sentiment ran high, especially as Huguenot refugees began arriving in London in growing numbers. [2], cxx, 608 pp., plus a leaf of plates. Collation: pi²a-g⁸h⁴B-2Q⁸. ESTC R12857. Wing J1203. Conforms to WorldCat / OCLC: 2104746. Pierre (Peter) Jurieu (1637–1713) was a French Huguenot theologian, one of the most prominent and combative Reformed polemicists of the late 17th century. Forced into exile after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685, he settled in Rotterdam, where he became a leading voice of the Huguenot refugee community and a fierce critic of both Louis XIV and the Catholic Church.

    . Première édition anglaise. Il s'agit d'une traduction de l'« Abrégé de l'histoire du Concile de Trente » de Jurieu. Reliure en cuir rouge pleine peau de grande beauté, réalisée par Cecil et Larkins, avec toutes les tranches dorées, des dentelles dorées, des titres, etc. La reliure présente quelques légères traces d'usure et de chocs, notamment sur les bords du dos, mais reste globalement en très bon état et propre. Pages de garde marbrées. À l'intérieur, l'ouvrage est complet et en très bon état, propre, avec seulement quelques légères rousseurs sur les premières pages. Le papier est légèrement noirci sur les bords, mais en bon état. Le frontispice est propre, avec quelques rousseurs et une très légère usure sur les bords. Il ne s'agit pas d'une histoire neutre du concile, mais d'un argumentaire selon lequel les protestants n'étaient pas liés par les décisions du concile. La date de cette impression, à peine un an avant la révocation de l'édit de Nantes, correspondait à un moment tendu pour les protestants français, et cette traduction anglaise a dû trouver un public réceptif dans l'Angleterre de la Restauration, où les sentiments anticatholiques et anti-français étaient très vifs, d'autant plus que les réfugiés huguenots commençaient à affluer en nombre croissant à Londres. [2], cxx, 608 p., plus un feuillet de planches. Collation : pi²a-g⁸h⁴B-2Q⁸. ESTC R12857. Wing J1203. Conforme à WorldCat / OCLC : 2104746. Pierre (Peter) Jurieu (1637–1713) était un théologien huguenot français, l'un des polémistes réformés les plus éminents et les plus combatifs de la fin du XVIIe siècle. Contraint à l'exil après la révocation de l'édit de Nantes en 1685, il s'installa à Rotterdam, où il devint une figure de proue de la communauté des réfugiés huguenots et un critique acharné tant de Louis XIV que de l'Église catholique.

    St Mary's College (or Oscott as it is often know) is a seminary training Roman Catholic Clergy. It opened in 1794, and in 1805 ordained Francis Martyn - the first Roman Catholic priest wholly ordained in England since the Reformation. Since this time, it has been under the authority of the Archdiocese of Birmingham. the Chapel at Oscott was created by the eminent Catholic architect Augustus Welby Pugin, who also created the museum and altar (from 1837 he lived partly at Oscott). The college played an important part in the Catholic revival of the mid 19th Century.

Description is: "The Earl of Winchelsea conceived so great a disgust with politics, on account of the passing of the Catholic Emancipation Act, that he announced it to be his intention of retiring altogether from the House of Lords. Moore, the lyrical poet, ever ready with his joke, took occasion, on the day after his Lordship's announcement of his resolution, to tell the story of a man in the gallery at Drury Lane, who, having paid his shilling to see George Barnwell, and not choosing to be disturbed from his tragedy-state of mind by the noise which an Easter Monday audience generally makes before the play begins, called out lustily for silence, and having, with much difficulty, obtained a hearing, very gravely acquainted the audience, that if they did not conduct themselves in a more orderly manner, he should be under the necessity of leaving the house. The public laughed with the poet and at the Earl, well knowing that such resolutions are the offspring of temporary emotions, and are never kept." Mclean. Illustrative Key to the Political Sketches of H.B. From No.1 to No. 600. Conforms to the National Portrait Gallery copy: NPG D40941. The Duke of Wellington is mentioned in this sketch, as he was the Prime Minister at the time of the passing of the Catholic Emancipation Act.

Publié en tant que n° 6 de "Political sketches" - Publié en 5 volumes. (Arthur Wellesley, 1er duc de Wellington ; George William Finch-Hatton, 10e comte de Winchelsea). La description est la suivante : "Le comte de Winchelsea a éprouvé un tel dégoût pour la politique, en raison de l'adoption de la loi sur l'émancipation des catholiques, qu'il a annoncé son intention de se retirer complètement de la Chambre des lords. Moore, le poète lyrique, toujours prêt à plaisanter, eut l'occasion, le lendemain de l'annonce par sa Seigneurie de sa résolution, de raconter l'histoire d'un homme dans la galerie de Drury Lane, qui, ayant payé son shilling pour voir George Barnwell, et ne voulant pas être dérangé de son état d'esprit tragique par le bruit qu'un public du lundi de Pâques fait généralement avant le début de la pièce, demanda bruyamment le silence, et se retira de la salle, Après avoir payé son shilling pour voir George Barnwell, et ne voulant pas être dérangé dans son état d'esprit tragique par le bruit que fait généralement le public du lundi de Pâques avant le début de la pièce, il réclama bruyamment le silence et, après avoir obtenu avec beaucoup de difficultés d'être entendu, il informa très sérieusement le public que s'il ne se comportait pas de manière plus ordonnée, il serait obligé de quitter la maison. Le public a ri avec le poète et le comte, sachant bien que de telles résolutions sont le fruit d'émotions passagères et ne sont jamais respectées". Mclean. Clé illustrant les croquis politiques de H.B. du n° 1 au n° 600. Conforme à l'exemplaire de la National Portrait Gallery : NPG D40941. Le duc de Wellington est mentionné dans cette esquisse, car il était Premier ministre au moment de l'adoption de la loi sur l'émancipation des catholiques.
