His decrees "Concerns only the form and the distribution on the said Bull". Both of the decrees are a little darkened, with a touch of nicking to the edges. Overall in sound condition. Produced in the Austrian Netherlands. Belgium (as it is now known) was ruled by the Habsburgs for most of the Eighteenth century, before being annexed by the French in 1795. A native of the Southern Netherlands, Josef Sebastian Valentine Eybel (1741-1805) was an enlightenment writer and political appointee. 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).

Claude Jean-Baptiste Huet de Froberville (1752–1838). He was a chevalier, and seigneur du Vivier. He served as a deputy for the Loiret in the French Legislative Assembly during the Revolution. In addition to this work, he wrote on agricultural improvements in the Sologne region. Archbishop Turpin, properly Tilpin (Latin Tilpinus), served as Archbishop of Reims from c. 748/753 until his death in 794 or 800. A monk of St. Denis, he restored his cathedral's properties, founded its scriptorium and library, and established the abbey of Saint-Rémi housing St. Remigius's relics. Turpin features prominently in medieval French epics like the "Chanson de Roland" as Charlemagne's warrior-archbishop, a militant cleric who fights Saracens alongside Roland at Roncesvalles and absolves the dying. * 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. L'auteur corrige l'idée fausse courante selon laquelle deux éditions distinctes publiées sous le titre Chronique de l'archevêque Turpin seraient des traductions d'un même ouvrage : la première, un in-quarto gothique de 1527 ; la seconde, un in-octavo de 1583 imprimé en caractères romains. Reliure en cuir pleine peau avec étiquette noire et titres dorés sur le dos. La reliure, avec un rouleau estampé à froid sur les bords extérieurs, présente une perte de cuir sur les 3 cm inférieurs du dos et une zone correspondante sur le panneau arrière. Étiquette de bibliothèque privée sur le plat avant. Malgré les défauts de la reliure, l'intérieur est en très bon état. Lumineux et propre dans l'ensemble, avec juste une touche de rousseur sur la page. Page de titre et page de garde avec vignette. Jolie vignette en en-tête de l'introduction. 73 [i] pages. 18 cm x 10,5 cm. Conforme à WorldCat / OCLC : 458159713. Un seul exemplaire de bibliothèque répertorié (BnF). Claude Jean-Baptiste Huet de Froberville (1752-1838). Il était chevalier et seigneur du Vivier. Il a été député du Loiret à l'Assemblée législative française pendant la Révolution. En plus de ce travail, il a écrit sur les améliorations agricoles dans la région de la Sologne. L'archevêque Turpin, de son vrai nom Tilpin (en latin Tilpinus), a été archevêque de Reims de 748/753 environ jusqu'à sa mort en 794 ou 800. Moine de Saint-Denis, il a restauré les propriétés de sa cathédrale, fondé son scriptorium et sa bibliothèque, et créé l'abbaye de Saint-Rémi qui abrite les reliques de saint Remi. Turpin occupe une place importante dans les épopées médiévales françaises telles que la « Chanson de Roland » en tant qu'archevêque guerrier de Charlemagne, un ecclésiastique militant qui combat les Sarrasins aux côtés de Roland à Roncevaux et absout les mourants.

Publisher's introduction, Saint days of the year (with a small woodcut for each month), contents, and text. The pagination runs to page 572. The second part (Coninciano le Lettioni) has a separate pagination, but was always intended to be part of the same work, the main part finishing the register at Nn8 - the continuation beginning Aaa. There are a large number of woodcuts throughout, and each new date / lesson, has a historiated capital. A very nice copy. The vellum binding is somewhat darkened and with a little marking, but is still flexible and has no cracks to it. The hand written spine label is still legible. Internally, clean and tidy throughout. There is a little darkening to the pages with the odd page having foxing spots. A few of the pages have tiny nicks to the edges and there is a tiny amount of worm damage to the rear of the book, but none affecting the text. Overall a very nice copy of this work. This is a reprint of this work. There were numerous editions, and variations of the work by different publishers. This work is translated by Remigio Fiorentino. His real name was Remigio Nannini. He was born in Florence (Firenze) Circa 1521 He died in 1581, and was a Dominican. This was his most popular work. Angelieri published his edition from 1590.

Il y a un grand nombre de gravures sur bois partout, et chaque nouvelle date/leçon, a un chapiteau historié. Un très bel exemplaire.

Mostly clean and tidy throughout Attractive historiated initials. There is slight worm damage throughout the work (doesn't really affect the text). The final leaf, which should be pasted to the rear board, has lifted, and so is not pasted down. It's nice to see small pieces of old vellum strips used as binding material beneath. Overall a very nice copy. Scarce first edition. No copies available at the time of cataloguing. Conforms to WorldCat / OCLC: 1068552260. Only one library holding (at the Universiteit Utrecht). 17cm x 10cm. collation: [LX], 322, [ii]., [vi], 290, [ii].,

    . Premières éditions. Deux volumes reliés en un seul. Traité (publié anonymement pour cette première édition, son nom n'apparaît que dans la deuxième édition de 1718) sur la manière d'apporter un soutien spirituel aux malades et aux mourants. Contrairement à ce qui était habituel à l'époque, l'essentiel de l'ouvrage aide les prêtres à apporter du réconfort aux malades. Reliure en cuir attrayante, avec décorations dorées et étiquette bordeaux avec titre doré. En bon état, avec seulement quelques traces de frottement. Pas de page de garde, le livre commence donc par la page de titre (probablement sans demi-titre). Les deux premières feuilles présentent une petite entaille dans le coin. Dans l'ensemble, l'ouvrage est propre et soigné. Jolies initiales historiées. Il y a de légers dommages causés par les vers dans tout l'ouvrage (qui n'affectent pas vraiment le texte). La dernière feuille, qui devrait être collée au dos, s'est décollée et n'est donc pas collée. Il est agréable de voir de petits morceaux de vieilles bandes de vélin utilisés comme matériau de reliure en dessous. Dans l'ensemble, c'est un très bel exemplaire. Première édition rare. Aucun exemplaire disponible au moment du catalogage. Conforme à WorldCat / OCLC : 1068552260. Une seule bibliothèque en possède un exemplaire (à l'Universiteit Utrecht). 17 cm x 10 cm. Collation : [LX], 322, [ii]., [vi], 290, [ii].,
