2 voll. in un tomo in-24�, pp. 288; 322; legatura coeva m. pelle con dorso adorno di titolo e tomaison in oro, filetti in oro e fregi in oro e in nero al dorso. Piatti marmorizzati. Ottimo esemplare normalmente fiorito. Edizione ottocentesca di una delle opere fondanti della storiografia e della filosofia della storia moderne, pubblicata per la prima volta in Francia nel 1681. This. is the last noteworthy exercise in that type of universal history which, beginning with St. Augustine, interpreted the course of human history as a continuous manifestation of divine providence leading mankind towards salvation. Bossuet's influence is still traceable in popular Roman Catholic history books, and though now valueless as an historical account, his Discours can still be enjoyed as a noble specimen of classical French prose (P.M.M., 157). Gioco di un'immaginazione possente, ma tuttavia un gioco che si serve della maturit� di un grand'uomo per scrivere con un dito mortale su una sabbia mobile il piano eterno e immutabile della Creazione (Alphonse de La Martine). Conducendo la narrazione della Creazione all'et� carolingia, Bossuet mira a glorificare l'assolutismo (Dio in cielo, il Re sulla terra) e ad unire in un legame diretto i popoli di cui discorre e la monarchia francese; alle sue tesi reag� Voltaire nel suo Essai sur l'Histoire, indiretta confutazione della visione provvidenzialistico-teologica del Bossuet.
