Eucher (with the Letter of St. Eucher). Condition: The covers are worn, soiled, and scraped, the bottom cover corners are bent and creased, the spine is frayed at its ends and pulling for 1 inch at the top, the spine label has some chips; nonetheless the covers are solid, doing their job well, and are attractive in a Hogwarts Library sort of way. Internally, the pages have lightly toned and there is foxing to the first and last few pages, there are some old previous owner's signatures and notes here and there; a few pages have some edge wear and corner chipping; overall the pages are complete, tight, bright, clean and clear. A solid, nice copy of this important book. The Venerable Louis of Granada, OP (b. 1505 d. 1588), was a Dominican friar noted as theologian, writer and preacher. The cause for his canonization has been long accepted by the Holy See (i.e. he has been declared and accepted as a SAINT by the Catholic Church). Scarce.

Louis de Grenade (Grenade, 1504 - Lisbonne, 1588) était un dominicain espagnol, écrivain et prédicateur catholique. Il grandit dans l'Alhambra de Grenade, où vivaient les Mendoza, et étudie les lettres. À dix-neuf ans, il est admis au couvent dominicain de Santa Cruz La Real, à Grenade. Il prononce ses vux en 1525, et prend le nom de religion de frère Luis de Grenade ; il se fait très vite remarquer par ses talents de prédicateur, et reçoit une formation théologique poussée : après ses études à Grenade, il est envoyé en 1529 au couvent de San Gregorio, à Valladolid. Il y fait la connaissance du frère Melchior Cano, avec lequel il aura plus tard maille à partir, mais également de l'archevêque Carranza, qui fut l'un des premiers à mettre en uvre la Contre-Réforme en Espagne.
