First edition

Thomas la GRUE Le mepris du monde

Thomas la GRUE

Le mepris du monde

Chez henry et Théodore Boom, à Amsterdam 1673, Pet. in-12 (8x13cm), (40) 270pp., relié.


First edition.
Full vellum binding with flexible flaps of time. Say smooth with title to the faded black feather. Dirt. Good copy.
The detachment from the earthly world and the spiritual quest in the faith was one of the central themes of the renewal of religious spirituality in the seventeenth century. This was called the Vanities in the arts. In Christian literature, this movement was named Scorn of the World, a term that is found in various writings and can be traced back to Saint Eucher, hermit of the first Christian centuries. The originality of this collection lies in the fact that it is the product of a Protestant, whose address to the reader soberly states the persecutions of which he was a victim, and his anti-papism as being the path of the true faith.
