Tomo Decimosettimo. Sopra tutt'i misterj dela religione cristiana. Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet was a French bishop and theologian, renowned for his sermons and other addresses. He has been considered by many to be one of the most brilliant orators of all time and a masterly French stylist. Court preacher to Louis XIV of France, Bossuet was a strong advocate of political absolutism and the divine right of kings. He argued that government was divine and that kings received their power from God. He was also an important courtier and politician. The works best known to English speakers are three great orations delivered at the funerals of Queen Henrietta Maria, widow of Charles I of England (1669) , her daughter, Henriette, Duchess of Orléans (1670) , and the outstanding soldier le Grand Condé (1687). Tomo Decimosettimo ONLY. The stiff-wrapper binding of this antique volume is detaching with worming, spine cover nearly entirely separated from rear panel. Text block is intact. Pages show faint water markings .
