Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of the Canons Regular, an order of priests who lived in community, following the Rule of Saint Augustine. The book traces the history of the Canons Regular from their origins in the 11th century to their present-day existence. Along the way, the book explores the Canons Regular's role in the development of Western Christianity, their contributions to learning and culture, and their unique approach to religious life. The Canons Regular were founded by a group of priests in northern Italy who sought to live a life of poverty, chastity, and obedience. They were inspired by the writings of Saint Augustine, who believed that Christians should live in community and share their possessions. The Canons Regular quickly spread throughout Europe, and by the 12th century they had become one of the most important religious orders in the Church. The Canons Regular played a major role in the development of Western Christianity. They founded schools and universities, and they helped to spread the Christian faith throughout Europe. They also played a significant role in the development of canon law, which is the body of law that governs the Catholic Church. In addition to their contributions to the Church, the Canons Regular also made significant contributions to learning and culture. They were among the first to establish libraries and scriptoria, and they played a major role in the preservation and transmission of classical learning. They also produced a number of important works of theology, philosophy, and literature. The Canons Regular continue to be an important part of the Catholic Church today. They live in communities throughout the world, and they continue to follow the Rule of Saint Augustine. They are dedicated to serving the Church and to living a life of prayer, study, and service. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the history, spirituality, and contributions of the Canons Regular. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christianity, the development of religious life, or the role of the Canons Regular in Western culture. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Forty-five plates to document one of the first museums and libraries, still shimmering with Baroque wunderkammer flair. A sumptuous and richly illustrated description of the Cabinet de curiosités and library of the Abbey of Sainte Geneviève in Paris; founded n the 6th century, it was one of the earliest Parisian cabinets that blended erudition, material culture, and library practice, placing Sainte-Geneviève among the great centers of learning before the Revolution. It is today across the square from the Panthéon, administered by La Sorbonne. During the Mediaeval ages the Library was already famous throughout Europe; after some difficult times during the Wars of Religions, the library was brought back to life beginning in 1619, during the reign of Louis XIII, by Cardinal Francois de Rochefoucauld, who donated six hundred volumes from his personal collection. In 1673, Claude Du Molinet became librarian and founded a small museum, the Cabinet of Curiosities, with Egyptian, Greek and Roman antiquities, medals, rare minerals and stuffed animals, within the library. By 1687 the library possessed twenty thousand books, and four hundred manuscripts. This volume, curated by Du Molinet himself, represents one of the most important testimonies to early modern collecting and the origins of museography. The first part of the volume is devoted to antiquities, while the second focuses on natural history. It presents a comprehensive survey of the abbey?s holdings. The plates, engraved in fine taille-douce by Franz Ertinger, depict the grand library and its cabinets filled with rare birds, fossils, coral branches, medals, engraved stones, minerals, and other marvels.

2 parties en 1 volume in-folio. Portrait. Titre gravé. 4ff. 183pp. et 39 planches gravées hors-texte dont 5 à double-page. + Titre gravé. pp.185-224. 4ff. 6 planches gravées hors-texte. Plein veau, dos à nerfs orné (Reliure de l'époque usagée). Edition Originale de la description du célèbre cabinet de curiosités constitué à l'abbaye de Sainte-Geneviève par le Père Du Molinet, qui en dirigeait la bibliothèque depuis 1675. L'ouvrage constitue l'un des premiers et des plus luxueux exemples, dans la France de l'âge classique, de ce que l'on peut appeler un "livre de cabinet". Il est structuré en deux parties: la première dédiée aux antiquités et la seconde à l'histoire naturelle. Les planches dépeignent la bibliothèque et divers "buffets garnis de tablettes" où sont exposés des oiseaux rares, des pétrifications, des branches de corail, des médailles, des pierres gravées, des vêtements et des armes de divers pays, des instruments de musique, des minéraux, des horloges, entre autres. Le cabinet incluait aussi une variété d'animaux singuliers et de curiosités naturelles, incluant un lézard du Brésil, des cornes de rhinocéros, de girafe et de licorne, une dent d'hippopotame, une main de sirène, une mandragore, etc. Dans l'éloge du Père Du Molinet, il est mentionné que "dès sa jeunesse, il s'est plû à découvrir tout ce qui était le plus caché dans l'antiquité ; et le cabinet de curiosités qu'il avait amassé est une preuve que rien n'échappait à ses recherches." La préface met en avant la vocation "démonstrative", pédagogique et scientifique de la collection, dont certaines pièces provenaient de l'érudit aixois, Nicolas-Claude Fabri de Pereisc. Par son classement soigné et sa présentation didactique, elle est d'une grande importance pour l'histoire de la muséographie et le présent ouvrage en est le seul témoignage, les pièces non bibliographiques ayant été dispersées par la suite. L'ouvrage est illustré par un portrait de l'auteur, gravé sur cuivre par Antoine Trouvain, deux titres-frontispices et quarante-cinq planches hors texte, dont cinq sont sur double page, réalisées en taille-douce par Franz Ertinger.
