UNKNOWN - 1851 Deeply Detailed French Roman Catholic Lecture on the Subject of Mercy
France, 1851. Ephemera. On offer is a fine copy of a French Roman Catholic lecture written in the mid-19th century. The booklet by an unknown writer, is entitled Misericorde Divine or Divine Mercy. It may be a lecture or possibly a sermon. The last page has an outline that gives a sense of the direction the writer is taking with his discourse, as in the following excerpts: Dieu est misericordieux 1. Sa misericorde nous attend 2. Sa misericorde nous previent, nous recherce, 3. Sa misericode nous orderdonne. [Translation: God is merciful 1. His mercy awaits us 2. His mercy warns us, searches for us, 3. His mercy orders us]. The manuscript begins with the writer discussing their reason for making the speech. An excerpt from the opening of the lecture follows: Misericorde…c'est un faveur des pecheurs penitents que je viens elever aujourdhui la voix. Trops longtemps la paix a a cesse regner dans leurs coeurs et la sommeil du juste afin loin des leurs yeux epuises a la recherche. [Translation: Mercy…it is a favour of penitent fishermen that I come today to raise my voice. For a long time peace has ceased to reign in their hearts and the sleep of the just so far from their exhausted looking eyes….]. The author/speaker then goes on to expound and expand on the points made in the outline. For a historian or for someone interested in an aspect of the religious thinking prevalent in mid-18th century France, this is a fine look into that way of thinking. Measuring 8 inches by 6 inches, it contains 18 pages and is 100% complete. The pages are in good condition although they show some staining from age. The pages are sewn together and the binding is in good condition. The handwriting is legible. ; Manuscripts; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 18 pages. Good with no dust jacket .
