Description from the seller
Scarce Anti-Jesuit publication with allegorical engraving.
DE SACY, Isaac-Louis Le Maistre.
Les enluminures du fameux almanach des pp. jésuistes La déroute et la confusion des jansénistes, ou triomphe de Molina jésuiste sur s. Augustin
N.P: N.D, 1654.
First Edition. In two parts. Complete with the allegorical engraving entitled "the rout and confusion of the Jansenists".
Text by Le Maistre De Sacy, "The illuminations of the famous almanac of the PP. Jesuits" Although undated, 1654.
The original edition in 100 pages. followed by: "Response to the letter of a person of status concerning the rules of conduct of the Holy Fathers in the composition of their works", by Antoine Arnauld, Also 1654 (104 pages.)
Later half leather binding with marbled boards, with label and ornate detail and text in gilt to the spine. Binding in excellent condition. Ex libris to the inside front board. 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.
