Description: Histoire des Papes, depuis St. Pierre jusqu'a... Benoit XIII inclusivement. by Francois Bruys 5 volumes, complete setThe Hague, Scheurleer 1732-34Size 7 3/4 by 10" With engraved frontispiece, 5 title vignettes, and 1 text vignette. Original leather with gilt decorated spinesFirst editionVery good condition, minor wear.- Francois Bruys (1708-1738) converted to Protestantism at the age of twenty, but returned to the fold of the church two years before his untimely death; This change of heart had no influence on the ban on the work; the papal history was placed on the index in 1750 (Catalogue des ouvrages mis a l'index, 2nd ed., Paris 1826, p. 155 - Index librorum prohibitorum). If it is truly based on the work of a Moorish man, given the generally high level of scholarship, it is surprising that the work was viewed so negatively - perhaps the author's false beliefs played a major role in this. - Exlibris "Dampierre" in the first volumeText in Latin ======================Please see my other auctions Thank You Refund Policy: We will issue a FULL REFUND, 100% money back if you are not satisfied with your purchase.
