First edition.
Description of a temple, probably early Christian, in Cestas by the local scholar Abbot Jaubert.
The latter identifies it as a temple dedicated to the cult of Cybele. This temple was attached to the old church of Cestas, which has now disappeared. The engravings by Abbot Jaubert representing the plan of the building and the bas-reliefs are therefore the only archaeological traces that remain to us.

provenance: Ex libris handwritten on title page Jean Paul Lovet.
