Twelve leather bound volumes containing the sermons of the popular eighteenth century preacher. Twelve volumes containing the collected sermons of the popular eighteenth century preacher, Jean-Baptiste Massillon. Published in French. Having been selected to be the Advent preacher at the court of Versailles in 1699, Massillon gained a wide reputation, and was made Bishop of Clermont in 1717. Historians have attributed Massilon's popularity to his ability to consider moral questions without being too dogmatic. The present collection includes sermons for Advent, Lent, funerals, as well as some psalms and panegyrics. Prior owner's bookplate to the front paste down of all volumes. From the library of L Comte de Lanet, in the Chateau de la Garde Giron. In a full mottled calf binding. Externally, rather worn. The majority of the volumes have chips in the calf to the boards, particularly noticeable in the Advent volume, the Funeral Orations, the Panegyrics, and the first and fourth volumes of the Lent speeches. Most of the volumes are also missing a slither of calf to the head or tail of the spine, with the Mysteries, Panegyrics, the second and fourth volume of the Lent sermons, missing some calf to both. The second volume of the Conferments is missing a little more calf to the tail than the other volumes. The front and rear hinges are starting, but firm, in the Mysteries, and the Advent sermons. Just the front hinge is starting to the second volume of the Lent sermons, and the second volume of the Conferments, whilst the rear hinge is starting, but firm to the Panegyrics, but is very tender to Petite Careme. Internally, generally firmly bound, aside from the first few pages of the Advent volume, and the rear pages of Petite Careme. Pages are generally bright and clean, with a few stains to the front of the first few pages of the fourth Lent volume. Good Only.
