Contemporary blind-ruled sheep; rubbed with some surface loss; occassional light staining to text some small paper flaws with flaw on K5 costing a few letters Anonymous translation sometime incorrectly ascribed to John Evelyn of Pascal's 18 Lettres provinciales 1656-1657 an attack on the Jesuits in defense of Jansenism an ascetic reform movement within the Catholic Church that Pascal had joined in 1654. "This is one of the great polemical works of French literature ranging in tone from ironical mockery to angry denunciation and using a number of very successful argumentational devices and tactics" New Oxford Companion to Literature in French. "Pascal's weapon was irony and the freshness with which the gravity of the subject contrasts with the lightness of the manner is an enduring triumph. The vividness and distinction of his style recalls the prose of Milton" PMM. The engraved title uses Pascal's pseudonym Louis de Montalte.

1656ST12177-11Paris or Leyden 1656-57; related material 1657-58. 235 x 165 mm. 9 1/4 x 6 1/2". With 16 of 18 letters lacking letters IV and XVIII as well as general title and "Advertisement" leaf. 17 of 19 individually issued parts including the "Refutation de la Réponse à la Douzième Lettre". <br/> The original parts bound up in pleasing modern tan crushed morocco blind-ruled border raised bands gilt titling new endpapers. PMM 140; Tchemerzine V 62-63. ◆Light brown stain to head margin of the last quarter of the leaves occasional faint browning or foxing elsewhere more conspicuous on final gathering minor worming in bottom margin of a few leaves otherwise a very good copy internally with nothing approaching a serious defect and in a pleasing unworn binding.<br/> <br/> In addition to related material normally not included this volume contains 17 of the rare original 19 separately issued letters or "Provinciales" by the French polymath Blaise Pascal 1623-62 a series characterized by PMM as "the first example of French prose as we know it today perfectly finished in form . . . on a subject of universal importance . . . and an expression of one of the finest intelligences of the seventeenth century." Prompted by the Jesuits' condemnation for heresy of Pascal's friend Antoine Arnauld the letters are "a magnificent sustained invective" PMM against the laxity and casuistry of his detractors and at the same time a defense of Jansenism that theological movement and faction within Catholicism that grew out of the writings of Dutch theologian Cornelius Jansen 1585-1638 and that emphasized many of the Calvinist tenets of faith human sinfulness lack of free will and the necessity of divine Grace. The additional material apparently collected from a variety of sources comprises letters Pascal wrote to parish priests seeking assistance with the controversy. There is also a copy of Noel de la Lane's "Recit de ce qui s'est Passé au Parlement au Sujet de la Bulle de Nostre S. Père le Pape Alexandre VII. contre les Censures de Sorbonne" ca. 1665. Pascal 1623-62 was a man of many attainments in several fields among them physics philosophy and mathematics. Above all he was a profound thinker a devout Christian and the creator of memorable prose. Written simply lucidly objectively and wittily the "Provinciales" represents a landmark in French literature an early expression of Enlightenment thinking. It was enormously successful dealt the Jesuits a fatal setback and influenced the prose of Voltaire and Rousseau. Not surprisingly the book was put on the Index and ordered to be burned. Originally printed clandestinely by various printers as separate publications at various times during 1656 and 1657 the series is bibliographically complicated but it is clear that our quarto format versions precede the duodecimo printing dated 1657 and obviously those editions with later dates. It is likely given the small parts we are missing that someone assembled the various letters found here as they were issued at the time. A complete set of these letters in first edition--which is rarely seen--would sell for a considerable amount of money. unknown

No detailed or authoritative information on these separate issues is available" PMM. "The Lettres Provinciales as they are called are the first example of French prose as we know it today perfectly finished in form varied in style and on a subject of universal importance.Pascal was an infant prodigy whose work in mathematics and natural science attracted considerable attention before he was sixteen. But he will always be chiefly remembered as a moralist more especially as the great apologist for Jansenism the seventeenth-century French ascetic movement of reform inside the Roman Catholic Church.At the end of 1655 the movement had been much under attack from the Jesuits and Pascal was persuaded to write a rejoinder.his counter-attack took the form of a brilliant exposure of the casuistical methods of argument employed by the Jesuits.Pascal's weapon was irony and the freshness with which the gravity of the subject contrasts with the lightness of the manner is an enduring triumph. The vividness and distinction of his style recalls Milton at its best." Printing and the Mind of Man 140. Chés Pierre de la Vallée unknown

First Edition in Latin pseudonymously translated by Port-Royal moralist and theologian Pierre Nicole of the Lettres Provinciales the most important ethical work of Pascal and one of the great classics of French prose.

"Pascal’s counter-attack took the form of a brilliant exposure of the casuistical methods of argument employed by the Jesuits. It was at the time a magnificent sustained invective after which the Jesuits never recovered their former position in France it was largely responsible for the traditional bad name they still less deservedly bear and a noble defence of thought in religious faith. Pascal’s weapon was irony and the freshness with which the gravity of the subject contrasts with the lightness of the manner is an enduring triumph.
