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.

Originally intended as a Jesuit, he became a civil servant, and author of religious texts. He was the anonymous author of Was ist der Pabst / papst - in which he challenged the supremacy of the Pope. 320 x 200 mm (12½ x 7¾ inches).

    . Deux feuillets / décrets de l'empereur Joseph II. Les deux feuilles sont imprimées d'un seul côté. Chaque feuille est ornée d'une vignette gravée sur bois sur le bord supérieur. Le premier est un décret condamnant la bulle papale Damnatio & Prohibitio libri Germanic idiomate editi, cui titulus, Was ist der Pabst. La seconde proclamation de l'empereur Joseph II, publiée cinq mois plus tard, indique clairement que, malgré son décret précédent, il n'y a pas de désaccord avec le contenu de la bulle. Ses décrets "ne concernent que la forme et la distribution de ladite bulle". Les deux décrets sont un peu assombris, avec quelques entailles sur les bords. L'ensemble est en bon état. Produit dans les Pays-Bas autrichiens. La Belgique (telle qu'on la connaît aujourd'hui) a été gouvernée par les Habsbourg pendant la majeure partie du XVIIIe siècle, avant d'être annexée par les Français en 1795. Originaire des Pays-Bas méridionaux, Josef Sebastian Valentine Eybel (1741-1805) était un écrivain du siècle des Lumières et une personnalité politique. D'abord destiné à devenir jésuite, il devint fonctionnaire et auteur de textes religieux. Il est l'auteur anonyme de Was ist der Pabst / papst - dans lequel il conteste la suprématie du pape. 320 x 200 mm (12½ x 7¾ pouces).
