Reflexion sur l'edit touchant la reformation des monasteres

First edition, very rare.
Contemporary limp vellum binding. Smooth unlettered spine.
The author studies the various propositions of the king's edict concerning monasteries, especially what concerns the raising of the age for entering monasteries. If the work appears at first glance as a critique, it proves to be a defense of the edict, the author demonstrating and arguing, notably by recourse to history, the well-founded nature of the reforms, particularly regarding the question of priestly marriage.
