About This Item
Paris: De Pelafol, 1819. Leather. Good. 5.5" x 3.5". None. A collection of the oratory of Jean Baptiste Massillon. Massillon (1663 1742) was a French Catholic bishop and famous preacher who was Bishop of Clermont from 1717 until his death. A popular preacher, "he laid little stress on dogmatic questions, but treated generally of moral subjects, in which the secrets of the human heart and the processes of man's reason are described with poetical feeling." With a woodcut vignette to title page. In a full roan binding. Externally, worn with some slight loss to leather and bumping to extremities. Internally, firmly bound. Pages a little browned but otherwise very smart and clean. Ink inscription to head of title, dated 1820. Good
