Jean Pierre CAMUS

Le cabinet historique, remply d'Histoires veritables, arrivées tant dedans que dehors le royaume, avec les moralitez. Nouvellement trouvé dans les Ecrits de feu Mr Jean Pierre Camus, esveque de Belley.

Chez Jean Baptiste Loyson, à Paris 1668, in-8 (12x18cm), de (20) 246pp., relié.


First Edition. From an illustrated portrait frontispiece. Rare. Absent the BN of France, the French catalogs, the British Library and English catalogs. Vellum full time. Smooth back silent. The book is a collection of 34 historical novels, each new being followed by Christian and moral reflections. Jean Pierre Camus is indeed the first to have used fiction, ie secular means in a spiritual edification. Camus believed in the virtues of entertainment effect, as new present in this book are exclusively literary, only "reflections" that follow remind us of the spiritual project (not religious), this is all the more surprising that the modern French novel was in its infancy. The style is simple, without affectation, and Plutarch mentions. --- Please note that the translation in english is done automatically, we apologize if the formulas are inaccurate.
