Baillet, Adrien. Les Vies des Saints, composées sur ce qui nous est resté de plus authentique, & de plus assuré dans leur Histoire, disposées selon l'ordre des calendriers & des Martyrologes; avec l'histoire de leur culte, selon qu'il est établi dans l'Eglise Catholique, et l'histoire des autres festes de l'année, tome premier, second, troisieme, and quatrieme. Paris, Louis Genneau, 1724. New edition. 1 engraved portrait of the author, 13 engraved vignettes (one before each month and one portrait of Cardinal de Noailles), 4 identical woodcut title-vignettes. Contemporary speckled calf leather binding, faded gilt title and decorations on spines, folio. 

Covers worn and some minor dam., especially to top and bottom of the spine. The third volume presenting more serious damages. Slight foxing on all text blocks (as usual), occasional (mild) water marks, and a few loose(ning) pages and pastedowns. 

This edition is posthumous to its author, who was accused of getting dangerously close to reformist doctrines. Baillet challenged the Church's dogmas and did not tell the saints' miracles that were not proven.
