There are also references to The Glossop Estate, and settlements in 1841. An annuity to Dr Sandon and his wife is mentioned, as is a re-settlement agreed on the date of the Duke of Surrey's marriage. Full contemporary straight grain dark red morocco, gilt lettered 'Miscellaneous' on the upper cover. Slight wear to the head of the spine, and lacks the clasp. It bears the engraved stationers' label of Bebbington's Bath Paper Warehouse, 426, Strand. 120 mm x 190 mm. Henry Charles Howard and his father were Roman Catholics, although his mother Lady Elizabeth Belasyse was Anglican. It is not clear if Howard was formally and nominally raised Anglican, or if he was already Catholic when he married into a prominent Whig (and therefore anti-Catholic) family in 1814. In 1829, after Catholic emancipation, the Earl of Surrey (as he now was) was elected a Member of Parliament. In 1839
    his son, Henry Granville Fitzalan, Fourteenth Duke of Norfolk, married Augusta Lyons, the daughter of Admiral
    Sir Edmund (afterwards Lord) Lyons, the ambassador at Athens. This necessitated a revision of his father's inheritance provisions.

    First Latin edition of this polemic, originally published in French in 1610 under the title "Institution catholique". The author Pierre Coton (1564 - 1626) was a French Jesuit, friend and confessor of the French King Henry IV and his son, who later became King Louis XIII. After the assassination of Henry IV in 1610, Coton was often the victim of polemics and attacks, who blamed the regicide on the Jesuits. His name went down in history in the form of a quip: "The king has cotton in his ears!" Having become, thanks to the protection of Marie de Medici, the confessor of the young Louis XIII, he remained influential until his disgrace, linked to the coup de force of the young king against the Concini in 1617.

    Première édition latine de cette polémique, originellement publiée en français en 1610 sous le titre
    "Institution catholique". L'auteur Pierre Coton (1564 - 1626) était un jésuite français, ami et confesseur du roi français Henri IV et de son fils, qui devint plus tard le roi Louis XIII. Après l'assassinat d'Henri IV en 1610, Coton fut souvent victime de polémiques et d'attaques, qui imputaient le régicide aux Jésuites. Son nom est entré dans l'histoire sous la forme d'une boutade : "Le roi a du coton dans les oreilles !". Devenu, grâce à la protection de Marie de Médicis, le confesseur du jeune Louis XIII, il reste influent jusqu'à sa disgrâce, liée au coup de force du jeune roi contre les Concini en 1617.

The gift inscription states that the work was given to him as homage by the Society for the history of Paris and Isle de France. This names him as a member of the Institute, and may have been as celebratory gift, as Scheil was elected as a member of the Académie des inscriptions et belles-lettres of the Institut de France in December 1908. He seems to have then given the book to the Dominican library in Tours, as their library stamps are on the title page, and a couple of other pages. 63 pp. (text) + complete set of 81 loose plates in a hardback folder with blue cloth spine and paper covered boards replicating the title page. There is some rubbing and a touch of splitting to the portfolio edges. Title label to the spine is a little rubbed. Inside the pages are loose in folds. The end papers are a little darkened, but the rest of the work is clean and tidy. A nice copy. 290 by 190mm (11½ by 7½ inches).

    . Première édition. Un ensemble complet de 81 planches détachées accompagnées d'un texte, reproduisant les miniatures médiévales de Saint-Denis. Un bel exemplaire d'association. Cet ouvrage a été offert au père Jean-Vincent Scheil (1858-1940), prêtre dominicain français et assyriologue. Archéologue éminent, on lui attribue la découverte du Code d'Hammurabi en Perse, mis au jour lors de fouilles à Suse. Il fut fait Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur (1900), puis Officier de la Légion d'honneur (1923). L'inscription figurant sur le cadeau indique que l'ouvrage lui a été offert en hommage par la Société d'histoire de Paris et de l'Île-de-France. Cela le désigne comme membre de l'Institut, et il s'agissait peut-être d'un cadeau de célébration, puisque Scheil fut élu membre de l'Académie des inscriptions et belles-lettres de l'Institut de France en décembre 1908. Il semble avoir ensuite fait don de cet ouvrage à la bibliothèque des Dominicains de Tours, comme en témoignent les cachets de cette bibliothèque figurant sur la page de titre et sur quelques autres pages. 63 p. (texte) + série complète de 81 planches détachées dans un classeur à couverture rigide, avec un dos en toile bleue et des plats recouverts de papier reproduisant la page de titre. On observe quelques traces d'usure et un léger effilochage sur les bords du classeur. L'étiquette du titre sur le dos est légèrement usée. À l'intérieur, les pages sont en vrac et plissées. Les pages de garde sont légèrement noircies, mais le reste de l'ouvrage est propre et soigné. Un bel exemplaire. 290 × 190 mm (11½ × 7½ pouces).

Small private library locator label to the top edge of the cover.* Title page is a repeat of the front cover. Many pages uncut. The pages are in good condition but moderately darkened. A judicious and finely argued study of Joan of Arc, in which the author weighs her mystical visions and martial achievements against the competing interpretations of rationalist scepticism and traditional Catholic hagiography. Drawing upon the original trial proceedings, contemporary eyewitness accounts of the relief of Orléans (1429), and the later rehabilitation documents of 1456, the work challenges theories of hysteria, epilepsy, and political manipulation. Particular emphasis is placed upon Joan's prophetic accuracy (notably the crowning of Charles VII); her remarkable leadership in the field despite illiteracy, and the theological acumen displayed during her trial at Rouen, all adduced as evidence of a character transcending a naturalist explanation. 88 pages. 23cm x 14cm. Conforms to WorldCat / OCLC: 457698528m, which notes only two French library holdings. No copies available at the time of cataloguing. * label for the bibliothèque du fonds Bergevin to the top of the front cover. Taking its name from the two leading figures of the Bergevin family, Louis-Athanase Bergevin (1753-1832) and his son Louis-Catherine (1798-1876), were magistrates from Blois and major landowners in Saint-Gervais-la-Forêt. The collection was dispersed at auction in Véndome in 2022.

    . Première édition. Couverture souple d'origine. De couleur vert pâle, en bon état, avec un léger noircissement sur les bords. Petite étiquette de repérage provenant d'une bibliothèque privée sur le bord supérieur de la couverture.* La page de titre reprend le motif de la couverture. De nombreuses pages n'ont pas été rognées. Les pages sont en bon état mais présentent un noircissement modéré. Une étude judicieuse et finement argumentée sur Jeanne d'Arc, dans laquelle l'auteur met en balance ses visions mystiques et ses exploits militaires face aux interprétations contradictoires du scepticisme rationaliste et de l'hagiographie catholique traditionnelle. S'appuyant sur les procès-verbaux originaux du procès, les témoignages contemporains de la libération d'Orléans (1429) et les documents de réhabilitation ultérieurs de 1456, l'ouvrage remet en cause les théories de l'hystérie, de l'épilepsie et de la manipulation politique. L'accent est particulièrement mis sur la justesse prophétique de Jeanne (notamment le couronnement de Charles VII) ; son leadership remarquable sur le champ de bataille malgré son analphabétisme, et la perspicacité théologique dont elle a fait preuve lors de son procès à Rouen, tous cités comme preuves d'un caractère transcendant toute explication naturaliste. 88 pages. 23 cm x 14 cm. Conforme à WorldCat / OCLC : 457698528m, qui ne mentionne que deux exemplaires dans des bibliothèques françaises. Aucun exemplaire disponible au moment du catalogage. * Étiquette de la bibliothèque du fonds Bergevin en haut de la couverture. Tirant son nom des deux figures de proue de la famille Bergevin, Louis-Athanase Bergevin (1753-1832) et son fils Louis-Catherine (1798-1876), étaient des magistrats de Blois et de grands propriétaires terriens à Saint-Gervais-la-Forêt.

The second by Arnauld conforms to FirstSearch / OCLC: 717915953.

    Complete copy of this rare pamphlet directed against the Jesuits. The text is a detailed commentary in eighteen "illuminations" relating to the parts of the print. The last page bears a finished printing "illuminated for the first time on January 15 and for the second on February 18, 1654". (The final page of the response is dated 20th March 1654). One of the aims of the work was to rally the non-specialist public to the cause of effective grace, an objective pursued by Pascal's Provinciales, for which the Enluminures thus served as a dress rehearsal. This text contains many references not found elsewhere on the Jansenist movement in the provinces.

    . Première édition. En deux parties. Complet de la gravure allégorique intitulée "la déroute et la confusion des jansénistes". Texte de Le Maistre De Sacy, "Les enluminures du fameux almanach des PP. Jésuites" Bien que sans date, 1654.

La dernière page porte une impression terminée "enluminée pour la première fois le 15 janvier et pour la seconde le 18 février 1654". (La dernière page de la réplique est datée du 20 mars 1654). L'un des objectifs de l'ouvrage était de rallier le public non spécialisé à la cause de la grâce efficace, objectif poursuivi par les Provinciales de Pascal, dont les Enluminures ont ainsi servi de répétition générale. Ce texte contient de nombreuses références inédites sur le mouvement janséniste en province.
