This version of Bossuet’s sermons contains an introduction, notes, and variants by historian and librarian Alfred Rébelliau (1858-1934). Jacques-Bénigne Lignel Bossuet (1627-1704) was a French bishop and theologian. Renowned for his sermons, addresses and literary works, he is regarded as a brilliant orator and literary stylist of the French language. A native of Dijon, Bossuet was educated at a Jesuit school before enrolling in the College of Navarre in Paris, where he studied philosophy and theology. In 1652, he was ordained a priest and became a Doctor of Divinity. By the early 1660s, Bossuet was preaching regularly before the court of King Louis XIV at Versailles. In 1681, he was appointed Bishop of Meaux, a position he held until his death. Hardcover, very good condition. 518 pages, 16mo.
