Chez François Sébastien Offray|Avignon 1716|36 x 23 cm|relié
First edition. Title page in red and black.
Contemporary full marbled sheep binding; decorated raised spine, red morocco title label, roulette border decoration. Some scratches to boards; two corners worn; slight lack to bottom of joint.
Important and rare history of the foundation of Latin churches and religious orders throughout the world, the author even including the Indies and America. In France, the author establishes this history in all provinces and cities. At the same time this history combines geographical interest, as the author never fails to situate and describe the birthplace of an order or church; it is equally a history of saints and a general history of each country, region or city; even the heraldic aspect is far from neglected, so rich is this work.
