Armorial bookplate of Soldati-Hubbard de Veaux pasted inside front cover. [BNF30442419]. A third edition in an attractive 19th-century binding of the influential work by the eminent French priest, historian and jurist Claude Fleury (1640 - 1723). It is an account of the Jewish religion, customs and occupations from antiquity to the author's period. This book proved valuable not only to the ecclesiastical scholars of the 17th and 18th centuries, but also to the proponents of the Emancipation in the late 18th and early 19th century. The book was first printed in 1681, and carries a Royal Privilege ("Privilege du Roy") by king Louis XIV. Claude Fleury also had a long career as educator: tutor to the sons of the Prince of Conti, then to the Count of Vermandois, then sub-tutor to the grandsons of Louis XIV. From 1716 to 1722, he was confessor to Louis XV. He is best know for his 20-volume Histoire ecclésiastique, an expansive work dealing with questions of doctrine, of discipline, of supremacy, and of rivalry between the priesthood and the imperial power, which had many editions and was also translated into Latin, German, and Italian. IN 1696 he was elected to the Académie française. Change this text in preferences | general.
