First edition.
Louis Abel de Bonafous, a Jesuit priest, became a writer when his order was banned in 1773, under the name of Abbé Fontenay.
The Antilogies are a collection of contradictory arguments, often used to demonstrate paradoxes or to question certain dogmatic assertions. This work is typical of the way in which certain authors of the 18th century, particularly during the Enlightenment, questioned established truths and rigid systems of thought.
The Antilogies had a certain influence in the philosophical circles of its time, because of its innovative approach to logic and theology.

First edition.
The Annales de la Société des soi-disans Jésuites is a collection of historical acts, documents, and letters that was published between 1764 and 1771 to denounce the place of the Order of Jesuits in French society. The collection was produced by the Abbé Jean-Antoine Gazaignes and consists of five volumes (Last is missing in our copy). It contains information about the founding of the order, its doctrines, its activities, and its various political movements. The Annales are of great importance for understanding the history of the Jesuits and their influence on French society. The Annales have also served as the basis for many historical works and studies on the Jesuits and their role in French history.

Album de Villard de Honnecourt.

750 €

Beautiful facsimile reproduction of the famous manuscript of Villard de Honnecourt, a 13th-century architect.
This manuscript, preserved at the Bibliothèque nationale de France, is a valuable source on the construction techniques and know-how of medieval builders. It contains sketches and notes that reveal the empirical and artistic approach to Gothic architecture. Jean-Baptiste-Antoine Lassus, architect and fervent defender of the revival of medieval art in the 19th century, annotated this publication, which was then finalized by Alfred Darcel after his death.
The work is part of the movement of rediscovery and promotion of Gothic heritage, led in particular by Viollet-le-Duc and his contemporaries.
