About This Item
1768 Fleury Historical Catechism Illustrated BIBLE BANNED Prohibited Book Index
Claude Fleury was a 17th-century French priest best-known for his histories of the church and church doctrine. One of his best works was his 'Historical Catechism' – a history of Christian doctrine. It covers the secrets of the foundation of Christianity siting references from scripture and Bible stories. The Catholic Church condemned this book and immediately placed it on the Prohibited Books Index.
This impressive 1768 two-volume edition contains 40 full-page engravings depicting iconic Bible scenes including Creation and the Great Flood!
