Slightly later manuscript hand to the second end paper outlining the authorship, and giving details of the later 1683 edition. Internally in excellent condition. Slight darkening to the pages only. A very nice copy. The allegorical engraving is in excellent condition, with just a touch of edge wear. 175 by 115mm (7 by 4½ inches). The first part conforms to FirstSearch / OCLC: 718197303. 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 seconde partie d'Arnauld est conforme à FirstSearch / OCLC : 717915953.

    Exemplaire complet de ce rare pamphlet dirigé contre les Jésuites Le texte est un commentaire détaillé en dix-huit "enluminures" relatives aux parties de l'imprimé. 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.

    Old English Catholic Missions.

    Edition: First Edition

    London: Thomas Baker, 1900. First edition. Original burgundy cloth with gilt titles to the spine. Originally from the Guildhall Library, London. Has their bookplate to the inside board and some stamps (reference copy). In 1838 a Royal Commission requested that all Roman Catholic priests surrendered their Parish Registers (Records of Births, Deaths & Marriages) to the Government for cataloguing and safe storage at Somerset House. Despite much reluctance on the part of the Catholic Bishops, this book gives brief outlines of those Missions which did comply. The boards are clean and tidy, without damage, and with a small library stamp to the base of the spine. Internally the book is clean and tidy throughout apart from the library stamps. xxv, 122 pp.
