"Blaise Pascal the precociously brilliant contemporary of Descartes was a gifted mathematician and physicist but it is his unfinished apologia for the Christian religion upon which his reputation now rests. "The Pensees" is a collection of philosophical fragments notes and essays in which Pascal explores the contradictions of human nature in psychological social metaphysical and - above all - theological terms. Mankind emerges from Pascal's analysis as a wretched and desolate creature within an impersonal universe but who can be transformed through faith in God's grace.

Blaise Pascal 1623-1662 was a French mathematician physicist and religious philosopher. He laid the foundation for the modern theory of probabilities formulated what came to be known as Pascal's principle of pressure and propagated a religious doctrine that taught the experience of God through the heart rather than through reason. The subject of endless controversy these fragmentary meditations on faith and reason influenced generations of thinkers both sceptics and believers alike making this work a fundamental text in the history of western thought and literature.

17542414Paris 1754. 8vo 157 x 105 mm. 70 pages. Calligraphic title signed and dated by the scribe. Text in a neat italic script in dark brown ink 14-15 lines first lines of headings and initials in red ink faded thick and thin rule page borders throughout. A few additions or corrections. Some dust-soiling small stains in gutters of first 4 leaves. Contemporary mottled calf gilt edges broken defective. Provenance: Jean de St. Haond signature on title; given in 1759 to a female relative when she took her vows: inscription on front flyleaf "Ce livre est a l'usage de la Soeur Saint Haon qui est entrer sic aux sic Couvent pour etre religieuse le 6 mars mille sept cent cinq quante neuf âgée de dix neuf ans" This book is for the use of Sister Saint Haon who entered the Convent to become a nun on March 6 1759 at the age of 19.<br/><br/>A gift upon taking the veil: this manuscript copy of Pascal's prayer for the sick to accept their fate as the will of god was written by a young boy or adolescent for his father and given to a female relative of the same name no doubt his sister upon her entry into a convent. <br/><br/>Following his youthful achievements in mathematics and physics Pascal turned his energies exclusively to philosophy and theology. He suffered from poor health throughout his short life and died aged 39 in 1662. This prayer for the right attitude toward illness was probably written in 1660. By then seriously ill Pascal had begun rejecting the prescriptions of his doctors affirming that "sickness is the natural state of the Christian." The piece was first published posthumously in Divers traitez de pieté Cologne i.e. Paris 1666. <br/> <br/>Jean de Saint Haond or Sainthaond wrote this manuscript for his father probably as a devoir or assignment. In the three-page dedicatory epistle the scribe writes of his filial duty and joy at being able to fulfill his father's request for a transcription of the prayer. While the handwriting is neat he not yet mastered the spacing: many line endings run into or overlap the right-hand page border and in seven instances words or word endings had to be inserted at the bottom of the page in the position usually occupied by catchwords. Saint Haond added at the end a nine-page "General prayer regarding salvation" Oraison universelle pour tout ce qui regarde le salut. <br/><br/>Five years later Mlle now Sister Saint Haond came into possession of the manuscript upon taking her vows. She clearly lacked her brother's education: assuming that the inscription to that effect is in her hand her orthography and grammar were a bit shaky. While I have not succeeded in identifying the individuals the family name of Saint Haond or Sainthaond is associated with the upper Loire region where there remains a hamlet of that name. unknown books

This translation first published in London in 1816. xii 13-319 pp. 1 vols. 12mo. Attacking the Jesuits. Reponding to attacks of the Jesuits on the Jansenists and especially on Antoine Arnauld Pascal wrote this very effective defence and counter-attack on the code of ethics of the Jesuits. It was very popular and placed on the "Index" in 1660.<br/>Anti-Catholic sentiment in America was strengthened in the 1820's encouraged by the dis-information disseminated by the British anti-Catholics fighting the Catholic Emancipation Act 1829 and the repeal of the Test Act 1828 and aggravated by the increase of Catholic immigrants. The "Nativist" groups who throughout American history had directed much of their antagonism towards the Roman Catholics established groups like the American "Know-Nothing" Party and the "No-Popery" movement.

165766919"The first example of French prose as we know it today"óPMM PASCAL Blaise. Les Provinciales: Or The Mysterie of Jesuitisme. Discover'd in certain Letters Written upon occasion of the present differences of Sorbonne between the Jansenists and the Molinists from January 1656 to March 1657. S.N. Displaying the corrupt Maximes and Politicks of that Society. Faithfully rendred into English. London: Printed by J.G. for R. Royston 1657. First edition in English first printed in French at Cologne in 1656-7. Twelvemo. 24 409 1 blank 6 pp. With preliminary blank a post-script leaf referring to the seventeenth letter and two final leaves of errata and advertisements. Added engraved title-page by Robert Vaughan. Eighteenth-century paneled calf neatly rebacked retaining old morocco lettering label. Spine lettered in gilt with decorative gilt board-edges. Eighteenth-century armorial bookplate of John Hustler of Acklam mounted on verso of engraved title-page. Early ink notations at bottom of engraved title-page. Leaves Q thru Q12 have been affected by printer's ink mostly just a little smudging; verso of Q10 is the only page where two lines of text have been affected. Apart from the few flaws this is a fine copy of a very rare and famous work. This work is a series of eighteen letters in which "Pascal defended Arnauld and satirized his Jesuit opponents and their theological and moral views. The work was published under the pseudonym Louis de Montalte and were probably the cooperative work of Pascal Arnauld and Pierre Nicole though they were principally Pascal" Edwards P. The Encyclopedia of Philosophy p. 52. Les Provinciales is considered one of the great French literary masterpieces and the first example of French prose. No translator's name ever appeared in any of the English editions and to this day the translator remains unknown. There is however a strong possibility that the work might have been translated by Evelyn. In 1664 a third volume on Jesuitisme appeared and the translation was fully acknowledged by Evelyn. In his diaries he writes: "This day was publish'd by me that part of the Mysterie of Jesuitism translated and collected by me tho' without my name containing the Imaginarie Heresy with 4 letters and other pieces.Evelyn included the book in the list of his works sent to Dr. Plot and though he did not refer to it again in his Diary his interest in the subject remained very active" Keynes John Evelyn pp. 124-126.
