New edition, after the first edition published in 1688 in 2 volumes quarto. Contemporary full brown grained calf binding. Spine with five raised bands decorated with gilt compartments and fleurons, red morocco title and volume labels, leading edges underlined with blind tooling. All edges red. Two head caps worn, one headband detached at the tail of the first volume and corners very slightly bumped. One of Bossuet's major works, in which the author summarizes the controversies against the Protestant church through a key concept: variation. The multiple destinies and variations around the same doctrine must demonstrate to us that the Protestant church could not be the church of Christ and the repository of faith.
