This offering will be of interest to any institution looking to build a primary- source reference library in the fields of Church History, Early-Modern European His- tory, Philosophy, Theology, and Church-State relations. In addition to an extensive modern academic library, Gres-Gayer’s scholarly needs re- quired access to an array of primary sources, many of which were not reprinted in any format after the 18th century. Thus, the antiquarian collection he amassed runs quite deep within the narrow time frame of his interest. Subjects include general theological and philosophical writings of the faculty of the Sorbonne, Church Histories, tracts and documents relating to Port Royal and the Jansenist controversy (including many works by, for, and against Pascal and the Arnaulds), works from the «French School» and the rise of the Devotion to the Sacred Heart, as well as many other ancillary works in the contemporary French intellectual scene. Condition was a prime factor as this was a working library, and as such nearly all vol- umes are in Good to Very Good condition, most in contemporary leather bindings. Individually priced.
