    In-16°, pp. XI, 443, legatura coeva m. pelle con titolo oro su tassello e filetti a secco al dorso. Tagli colorati a spruzzo. Frontespizio inciso su rame con emblema della Compagnia di Gesù. Buon esemplare. Edizione ottocentesca di Carmagnola di quest'opera devozionale del noto gesuita francese (Cahors, 1657-Montpellier, 1731), destinata ad amplissima fortuna. Having entered the Society of Jesus in 1672, he taught the humanities, rhetoric, and philosophy, after which he devoted himself for a long time to preaching. The pleasure which Gisbert took in discussing pulpit eloquence with Lamoignon, the intendant of Languedoc, impelled him to write an essay on sacred eloquence, which he entitles Le bon gôut de l'éloquence chrétienne (Lyons, 1702). He spent ten years in retouching this essay, and augmented it considerably by adding to the rules examples drawn from Holy Scripture and the Fathers, especially St. John Chrysostum. The second edition appeared at Lyon in 1715 under the title L'Eloquence chrétienne dans l'idée et dans la pratique. The work, which comprises twenty-three chapters, does not follow the rigorous order of a didactical treatise and is without the dryness of a scholastic manual. It has been rightly called un livre éloquent sur l'éloquence. It contains a series of talks on the faults to be avoided in the matter and form of sermons, on oratorical action and decorum. Gisbert's book sufficed to make its author famous, not only among Catholic clergy, but even among Protestant pastors. One of them, Jacques Lenfant (1661-1728) carefully annotated it, and another, Kornrumpff, translated it into German. An Italian translation also appeared during Gisbert's lifetime, and later a Latin translation (Catholic Encyclopaedia). Cfr. Sommervogel, III, 1461.
