Frédéric Léonard | Paris 1679 | 15.9 x 21.3 cm | Relié | Edition originale illustrée d'un beau portrait-frontispice du cardinal Casanate, gravé sur métal, portant la signature de Pet. Paul Bouché, graveur anversois né vers 1646 [cf. Bénézit]. Gay 1464. Cette gravure manque à l'exemplaire de la Bibliothèque nationale.

Restaurations sur le dos, trace d'humidité en marge droite des premiers feuillets, quelques feuillets jaunis. "On signale de cet ouvrage d'Emmanuel Schelstrate une autre édition d'Anvers de la même année". L'auteur publia ce traité pour prouver que l'Eglise d'Afrique et ses plus grands pasteurs ont toujours reconnu au pape la qualité de patriarche. Cette précieuse histoire de l'Eglise d'Afrique, de ses hérésies et de ses conciles, contient également une liste des évêques des provinces de Numidie, de Byzance, de Mauritanie, de Tripoli et de Sardaigne. L'antiquaire et théologien anversois Emanuel van Schelstrate [1645-1692] était le champion de la prérogative pontificale. Ce grand érudit fut chanoine et chantre de la cathédrale d'Anvers. Il vint ensuite à Rome où Innocent XI le nomma garde de la bibliothèque du Vatican et chanoine de St. Jean de Latran. Cachet de bibliothèque sur la page de titre. Envoi autographe signé Edouard Imbenotte à l'abbé Griselle (vers 1910) à l'encre noire sur le contreplat. | [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS] First edition, illustrated with a fine engraved frontispiece portrait of Cardinal Casanate, signed by Pet.

This valuable history of the African Church, its heresies and its councils, also includes a list of bishops from the provinces of Numidia, Byzantium, Mauretania, Tripolitania, and Sardinia. Emanuel van Schelstrate [16451692], the Antwerp antiquarian and theologian, was a staunch defender of papal prerogative. A learned scholar, he served as canon and precentor of Antwerp Cathedral before being called to Rome, where Pope Innocent XI appointed him custodian of the Vatican Library and canon of St. John Lateran.Library stamp to title page.Autograph inscription signed by Edouard Imbenotte to Abbé Griselle (circa 1910) in black ink on the front pastedown. * in-4 ; 20 ff.n.ch., portrait gravé hors texte, 328 pp., 5 ff.n.ch.
