18490010113Bourges France. Good with no dust jacket. 1849. Ephemera. On offer is a printed Roman Catholic pastoral letter dated 1849 and intended as an open letter to clergy and members of the church in the jurisdiction. Its author was Jacques-Marie Antoine Célestin Dupont the Cardinal Archbishop of the Diocese of Bourges France. Dupont was born in 1792 in Sardinia. He was ordained a priest in 1815. In 1823 he was appointed Bishop and over the next 36 years served in several dioceses. His various postings were not without controversy. He was a reformer sent into several large dioceses to bring about much-needed changes and this frequently did not sit well with local clergy or the people of the diocese. In 1847 he was made a Cardinal. He maintained close relationships with the court of Louis Phillippe the so-called July Monarchy. Dupont passed away in 1859 in Bourges France. He begins his long letter with this exhortation: La belle recommendation nos tres-chers freres que celle de l'apotre St. Pierre exhortant les fideles a rendre leurs ames chastes par obeissance toute fraternelle en s'appliquent avec plus de soin a s'aimer les uns les autres d'un coeur simple et sans defiance. Translation: The beautiful recommendation our dearest brothers that the apostle St. Peter exhort the faithful to make their souls chaste by fraternal obedience apply themselves with more care to love each other with a simple heart and without hesitation. The front cover carries the coat of arms of Cardinal Du Pont. The letter is issued over his printed signature and sealed with his coat of arms. It also bears the printed signature of his secretary Jean Figier. This document offers a valuable insight into the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church in mid-19th century Europe. Pastoral letters such as this one were frequently sent out at particular times of the year coinciding with ecclesiastical seasons such as Lent or Christmas. However they were not limited to any particular event or celebration. In this case this Pastoral Letter was published for the Lenten season of 1849 the 40 day. Period preceding Easter. The document measures 10.75 inches by 8.5 inches. It is a 16-page printed document. The binding is a simple threaded binding that is intact and in good condition. The pages have some staining due to age but otherwise the document is in very good condition. ; Letters; 10.75"x8.5"; 16 pages; Signed by Notable Personage Unrelated . unknown

18870010266Bourges France. Good with no dust jacket. 1887. Ephemera. On offer is a printed pastoral letter about the education of young children written by the Archbishop of the Diocese of Bourges Jean-Joseph Marchal. The letter is titled lEducation des Petits Enfants et Mandement Pour le SaintTemps de Careme de l'An de Grace 1887 The Education of Small Children and the Mandata for theholy season of Lent in the Year of Grace 1887. Pastoral letters are open letters written to clergy and often to all members of the church as this one was in a particular jurisdiction. Such letters were frequently sent out at particular times of the year coinciding with ecclesiastical seasons such as Lent or Christmas. In this particular case it was sent out as part of the preparations for Lent. As the title suggest this Letter concerned the education of children. Two excerpts from the letter follow: L'enfant meme quand il a ete regenere par la baptisme ne se developee pas et ne devient points un homme parfait un chretien parfait par un accroissement spontane par la vertu d'unee force inherente a sa nature et agissant selon des regles invariables et toujours sures. Translation: The child even when he has been regenerated by baptism does not develop and does not become a perfect man a perfect Christian by a spontaneous increase by virtue of a force inherent in his nature and acting according to rules that are unvarying and always certain. Cedependant il faut bien de reconnaitre dans le grande nombre de familles il est impossible ou du moins il est dificile pour les parents de donner completement et par eux-memes a leur enfants l'ensignement religieux qui leur est du des qu'ils ont l'usage de la raison Translation: However it is necessary to recognize in the large number of families it is impossible or at least it is difficult for the parents to give completely and by themselves to their children the religious teaching which is due to them as soon as they have the use of reason. The author Archbishop of the Diocese of Bourges Jean-Joseph Marchal was ordained a priest in 1845 and taught as a professor at a major seminary. Leaving his teaching position became a parish priest. In 1864 he was appointedBishop of Belley France. In 1880 he was appointed Archbishop of Bourges in the southwest of France. He remained there as Archbishop until his death in 1892. Interestingly his brother was also a Bishop and served as his assistant in Bourges. For a historian or an educator this document offers an excellent window into the attitudes toward children and their education in a fairly conservative region of France during the Belle Epoque period of the late 19th century. This printed document measures 10.5 inches by 8.5 inches and contains 28 pages. The sewn binding is in excellent condition as are the pages. There are no stains or wear marks. ; 10.5" x 8.5"; 28 pages .

Small private library locator label to the top edge of the cover. Title page is a repeat of the front cover. Many pages uncut. The pages are in good condition but moderately darkened.

Les pages sont en bon état mais présentent un noircissement modéré. Une étude judicieuse et finement argumentée sur Jeanne d'Arc dans laquelle l'auteur met en balance ses visions mystiques et ses exploits militaires face aux interprétations contradictoires du scepticisme rationaliste et de l'hagiographie catholique traditionnelle. S'appuyant sur les procès-verbaux originaux du procès les témoignages contemporains de la libération d'Orléans 1429 et les documents de réhabilitation ultérieurs de 1456 l'ouvrage remet en cause les théories de l'hystérie de l'épilepsie et de la manipulation politique. L'accent est particulièrement mis sur la justesse prophétique de Jeanne notamment le couronnement de Charles VII ; son leadership remarquable sur le champ de bataille malgré son analphabétisme et la perspicacité théologique dont elle a fait preuve lors de son procès à Rouen tous cités comme preuves d'un caractère transcendant toute explication naturaliste. 88 pages. 23 cm x 14 cm.
