Very rare first collective edition of Bossuet’s funeral orations. The collection contains the oratorical masterpieces composed by the bishop of Meaux at the death of Henriette queen of England, Henriette Anne of England duchess of Orleans, Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se of Austria, the Palatine princess, Michel Le Tellier and the prince of Cond\u00e9.<\/p>\n
“Si on compare les oraisons de ce recueil avec celles que Bossuet avait publi\u00e9es, on remarque quelques diff\u00e9rences avec le style. Elles sont dues \u00e0 l’\u00e9v\u00eaque de Meaux qui suivit avec soin l’impression de cette nouvelle \u00e9dition de ses oraisons. C’est la premi\u00e8re \u00e9dition originale des six grandes Oraisons fun\u00e8bres de Bossuet, r\u00e9unis en recueil” (Verlaque).<\/p>\n
The six great funeral orations of Bossuet were first published separately by S\u00e9bastien Mabre-Cramoisy in the in-4 format and at the date of their composition between 1669 and 1687.<\/p>\n
The copy belonged to \u00c9mile Henriot (1889-1961), with his handwritten bookplate in black ink to the verso of the first endpaper. Joint: handwritten note by \u00c9mile Henriot on a small sheet of squared paper with the words “bought 1 franc in Toulouse 1910 (?)”.<\/p>\n
A very pleasant and tall copy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
