Exercices de Pieté pour Tous les Jours de l'Année ... Octobre
Croiset, Jean
Lyon: Antoine Boudet, 1719. First edition 12mo. (10),800pp. Contemporary full calf. Spine in six compartments with raised bands; ornately gill. A very good copy in a lovely contemporary binding. The author, Jean Croiset (1656-1738) was for a long time rector at the Jesuit novitiate of Avignon, where he became famous as a director of consciences. The volume is one of twelve published at different times from 1712- 1720, one for each month of the year, and so this would constitute the tenth volumes in the series. Croiset is regarded as one of the great masters of the spiritual life. These meditations proved quite popular and were many times reprinted. Very good Hardcover (Item ID: 17311)
