The Archbishop of Leon, primate of France, defends Christianity against the incredulidad of modern writers (i.e., Enlightenment thinkers). Includes several chapters on Jews and Judaism (pp. 124-37). Antoine de Montazet (1713 -1788) was a French theologian, of Jansenist tendencies, who became Bishop of Autun and Archbishop of Lyon. He was elected to the Acad�mie fran�aise in 1756, but did not produce significant literary works. Montazet was born in Laugnac. He had published for his seminary by the Oratorian Joseph Valla, six volumes of Institutiones theologic�. These were known as "Th�ologie de Lyon", and were spread throughout Italy by Scipio de' Ricci, Bishop of Pistoia and Prato, until condemned by the Index in 1792. Contrary to the papal bull of Pope Pius V on the Roman Breviary, Montazet changed the text of the Breviary and the Missal. The later efforts of Pope Pius IX and Cardinal Bonald to suppress the innovations of Montazet provoked resistance on the part of the canons, who defended the traditional Lyonnese ceremonies.Although it appears to lack an initial blank leaf a1, the collation given by Ruiz Lasala agrees with that of the present copy. Leaf a1 was blank and canceled, in all probability.*** Ruiz Lasala 453 (collation agrees with our copy). Not in Whitehead, BL Eighteenth-Century Spanish STC. Not in Whitehead "Joaquin Ibarra .
