Hardcover. Condition: Good. A rare late seventeenth-century polemical work arising from the theological and intellectual controversies surrounding the followers of Antoine Arnauld and the broader Jansenist movement. This volume collects writings directed against the so-called Faux-Arnauld, including the Libelle diffamatoire, and… reflects the deeply charged religious disputes of the period, particularly those connected with Port-Royal and the wider conflict between Jansenists and their opponents within the French Church. Printed in 1693 and arranged in parallel columns comparing variant editions, the work is both a theological document and a bibliographically interesting production, illustrating textual variation and polemical dissemination in the late seventeenth century. Such material remains scarce on the market, especially in complete form.
