Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original wrappers. 12mo. (16 x 12 cm). In Ottoman script. 44 p. Hejra-Hijri: 1304 = Gregorian: 1887. Extremely rare first edition of this Ottoman edition of 'history of the Jesuits'. This book has been abridged and translated from Taxil's work. Marie Joseph Gabriel Antoine Jogand-Pagès, better known by the pen name Léo Taxil was a French writer and journalist who became known for his strong anti-Catholic and anti-clerical views. He is also known for the Taxil hoax, a spurious expose of Freemasonry and the Roman Catholic Church's opposition to it. Marie Joseph Gabriel Antoine Jogand-Pagès was born in Marseille, and at the age of five, he was placed into a Jesuit seminary. After spending his childhood years in the seminary, he became disillusioned with the Catholic faith and began to see the religious ideology as socially harmful. Taxil first became known for writing anti-Clerical or anti-Catholic books, notably "La Bible amusante" (The Amusing Bible) and "La Vie de Jesus" (The Life of Jesus), in which Taxil satirically pointed out inconsistencies, errors, and false beliefs presented in these religious works. In his other books Les Debauches d'un confesseur (with Karl Milo), Les Pornographes sacrés: la confession et les confesseurs, and Les Maîtresses du Pape, Taxil portrays leaders of the Catholic Church as hedonistic creatures exploring their fetishes in the manner of the Marquis de Sade. In 1879, he was tried at the Seine Assizes for writing a pamphlet A Bas la Calotte ("Down with the Cloth"), which was accused of insulting a religion recognized by the state, but he was acquitted. In 1885, he professed conversion to Catholicism, was solemnly received into the church, and renounced his earlier works. In the 1890s, he wrote a series of pamphlets and books denouncing Freemasonry, charging their lodges with worshiping the devil and alleging that Diana Vaughan had written for him her confessions of the Satanic "Palladian" cult. The book had great sales among Catholics, although Diana Vaughan never appeared in public. In 1892, Taxil also began to publish a paper, La France chrétienne anti-maçonnique (Christian Antimasonic France), with his staunch anti-Masonic publishing friend, Abel Clarin de la Rive. In 1887, he had an audience with Pope Leo XIII, who rebuked the bishop of Charleston for denouncing the anti-Masonic confessions as a fraud and, in 1896, sent his blessing to an anti-Masonic Congress of Trent. Doubts about Vaughan's veracity and even her existence began to grow, and finally, Taxil promised to produce her at a lecture to be delivered by him on 19 April 1897. To the amazement of the audience (which included a number of priests), he announced that Diana was one of a series of hoaxes. He had begun, he said, by persuading the commandant of Marseille that the harbor was infested with sharks, and a ship was sent to destroy them. Next, he invented an underwater city in Lake Geneva, drawing tourists and archaeologists to the spot. He thanked the bishops and Catholic newspapers for facilitating his crowning hoax, namely his conversion, which had exposed the anti-Masonic fanaticism of many Catholics. Diana Vaughan was revealed to be a simple typist in his employ, who laughingly allowed her name to be used by him. The audience received these revelations with indignation and contempt. Afterward, Taxil left the hall, where policemen escorted him to a neighboring café. He then moved away from Paris. He died in Sceaux in 1907. An extremely rare first translation in Ottoman Turkish. Özege 9775. First Edition.

In-12, broché, couverture de papier gris ancien de livraison, 61 p. Edition originale de ce document relatif au procès à l'attentat perpétré par Damiens contre Louis XV et à la question de sa responsabilité. Savant champenois, biographe, collaborateur de l'Encyclopédie, historien et avocat, l'auteur Pierre-Jean Grosley (1718-1785) était attaché à sa ville de Troyes, à ses traditions gallicanes et de fronde janséniste. Il développe la thèse que Damiens, simple valet, très médiocre intellectuellement, ne pouvait pas avoir, par lui-même, des mobiles politiques et qu'il ne fut que l'instrument d'une vaste conspiration. Il cherche à écarter tous soupçons qui pourraient peser sur les milieux parlementaires pour charger les jésuites dont il récapitule le rôle dans les différents régicides. L'auteur laisse planer le soupçon du manque de partialité des magistrats instructeurs du procès, étant donné leur proximité supposée avec les jésuites. L'auteur arriva second au concours de l’Académie de Dijon de 1750 que remporta Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Il a collaboré aux volumesIV et XIV de l’Encyclopédie Diderot-D’Alembert. Le pamphlet fut condamné au feu par arrêt de la cour du 30 mars 1757. (Conlon, Siècle des Lumières, 57:817). Bon exemplaire, frais, bien conservé.

In-12°, (3cc), 7-233pp, illustrazioni, legatura in pergamena, nervi, buone condizioni, emblema del Re Sole Luigi XIV al frontespizio, 27 emblemi Charles de La Rue (3 agosto 1643, Parigi - 27 maggio 1725, Parigi), noto in latino come Carolus Ruaeus, fu uno dei grandi oratori della Compagnia di Gesù in Francia nel diciassettesimo secolo. Entrò nel noviziato il 7 settembre 1659, ed essendo successivamente professore di lettere e retorica, attirò l'attenzione mentre era ancora giovane da una poesia sulle vittorie di Luigi XIV. Pierre Corneille lo tradusse e lo offrì al re, dicendo che il suo lavoro non eguagliava l'originale del giovane gesuita. Ha scritto diverse tragedie, pubblicato un'edizione di Virgilio e scritto diverse poesie latine. Dopo aver più volte rifiutato di permettergli di andare in Canada, i suoi superiori lo assegnarono alla predicazione; come oratore era molto ammirato dalla corte e dal re. Le sue orazioni funebri sui duchi di Borgogna e del Lussemburgo e quelle su Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet, i suoi sermoni su "Les Calamités publiques" e "The Dying Sinner" sono stati considerati capolavori dai più grandi maestri. Ha predicato missioni tra i protestanti della Linguadoca per tre anni. Era un religioso molto virtuoso e durante i suoi ultimi anni sopportò coraggiosamente grandi infermità.

Charles de La Rue (3 August 1643, Paris – 27 May 1725, Paris), known in Latin as Carolus Ruaeus, was one of the great orators of the Society of Jesus in France in the seventeenth century. He entered the novitiate on 7 September 1659, and being afterwards professor of the humanities and rhetoric, he attracted attention while still young by a poem on the victories of Louis XIV. Pierre Corneille translated it and offered it to the king, saying that his work did not equal the original of the young Jesuit. He wrote several tragedies, published an edition of Virgil, and wrote several Latin poems. After having several times refused to permit him to go to Canada, his superiors assigned him to preaching; as an orator he was much admired by the court and the king. His funeral orations on the Dukes of Burgundy and Luxemburg, and that on Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet, his sermons on "Les Calamités publiques" and "The Dying Sinner" have been regarded as masterpieces by the greatest masters. He preached missions among the Protestants of Languedoc for three years. He was a most virtuous religious, and during his last years endured courageously great infirmities.
