Vol. I lacking A2 dedication to George Pitt Jun. several woodcut ornaments. contemporary calf rebacked & recornered covers worn internally fine & crisp. First Edition of the Second English Translation of the 'Provincial Letters' by William Andrews and First Edition in English of the prefatory biography of Pascal by his sister. Pascal's famous defence of Jansenism the seventeenth-century French ascetic movement of reform inside the Roman Catholic Church stands as a brilliant and noble defence of thought in religious faith. The author's first important ethical work and a classic of French prose it was composed following Pascal's removal in 1654 to Port Royal the monastery famous as the centre of the Jansenist movement. Written in response to the Jesuit attacks on Jansenism which culminated in the condemnation by the Sorbonne at the end of 1655 of Antoine Arnauld the leading light of Port Royal the Lettres were originally issued clandestinely in a series of eighteen separate parts between January 23 1656 and January 15 1657. Pascal's magnificent invective against the casuistical methods of argument employed by the Jesuits seriously weakened their position in France and was largely responsible for the traditional bad reputation which they still bear. The prefatory biography was written by Pascal's sister Jacqueline Perier who was a nun at Port Royal. "Pascal's counter-attack took the form of a brilliant exposure of the casuistical methods of argument employed by the Jesuits.His 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 at its best." Printing and the Mind of Man NCBEL II 1525. Rothschild 35. F. London: James Bettenham, 1744. unknown

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

'<i>Pensees'</i> was a culmination of all of Pascal's non-mathematic discoveries and ideas which ultimately led him to a life of religious asceticism. He defended Christianity in this work. In doing so it 'became <b><u>one of the most famous Christian books in history</u></b>.' Keller <i>Gospel Coalition</i>. 'Pascal was aware that very often we see only what we want to see' Morris 145 and because of that he hoped to be able to 'convince man to overcome the natural reluctance many feel toward religion.'

Original full tree calf gilt titles and decorations burgundy morocco spine label. "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.
