(Amsterdam) "Hollande, chez les Marchands Libraires & Imagers" o. J. (1685-1689). Cohen-de Ricci 870. Gay Lemonnyer III, 1004. Hollstein VII (Gole), 376-400. Landwehr, Romeyn de Hooghe, 169, 77. – First edition of this sharp satire on the clergy, as far as he was involved in the abolition of the edict of Nantes, on monasticism and nuns, their vice and falsehood. The magnificent double folded frontispiece of the master eraser Romeyn de Hooghe (1645-1708) shows the Christ bound by the Pharisees in the vice, who is squeezed out to give the riches of the earth to the poor, the stingy, the Pope (the coins run into the tiara) etc. "Ma mort n'a plus de fruict, car le Clerge Romain, / Ne s'en sert aujourdhuy que pour son avarice'. Like an emblem book, the grandiose tablets each show a chest image in the round, including French verses on the abysses of humanity. Among the cynical caricatures are the portraits of "Le Roy du Carneval" or the representatives of the Orders such as "Le Père François" (Franziskanermönch), "Le Pere Dominique" (Dominican monk), " Le Père Antoine" (the toad speit), "le Père Ignace" or "le Pere Xavier" (as persiflage on the Jesuit order), and "Le Frère Robinet". Luther also appears with his cap and a luxuriant woman. – Tables partly slightly tanned, minimally brown-spotted, otherwise hardly flecky, almost throughout in a magnificent, very fresh condition, rarely beautiful specimen. – Beligt: Theodor Schott. The abolition of the edict of Nantes in October 1685. Hall 1885. - Uncircumcised specimen in modern brochure.
