FRANÇOIS DE SALES (saint). Autograph signed "Françs e[vêque] de Geneve". Annecy, 11juin 1621. 34p. in-folio; some ink stains; framed under glass. "Sur la remonstrance a nous faite a Thonon tendant aux fins que les ecclesiastiques de la congregation de Notre-Dame de Tonon ayent a faire celebrer la sainte messe et faire la station accoustumee dans le diocese pour les fideles trespassés dont les cors reposent au cimetiere de Saint-Bon [à Thonon-les-Bains]; nous commettons les sieurs de Blomay, prefect, et de Chatillon, plebain [in Savoie, a "plebain" was a parish priest appointed by a chapter], pour voir ce qui sera plus a la gloire de Dieu, et ordonner de nos part ce qui devra estre observé pour ce regard et, s'il y a de la difficulté, renvoyer nous leur advis sur lequel nous puissions pourveoir..." Thonon and its Sainte-Maison on the Catholic front. During the Bernese occupation (1536-1567), Thonon and the Chablais region had gone over to the Reformation, so when they returned to the Savoy States, the Duke was determined to restore Catholicism and make it a citadel of the Counter-Reformation. To this end, he enlisted the help of successive bishops of Geneva, including, from 1602 to 1622, Saint François de Sales. A Sainte-Maison was founded in Thonon in 1599, a complex of institutions dedicated to Catholic education and preaching. It was supported in this task by a brotherhood established by the Pope under the name of Notre-Dame-de-la-Compassion, whose action was to promote the conversion of Protestants, help missionaries and assist new converts. Claude de Blonay, a friend of St. Francis de Sales, and Jean de Châtillon, mentioned in this letter, worked at the Sainte-Maison de Thonon as prefect and administrator respectively. Provenance: Bishop of Annecy Claude-Marie Magnin (1802-1879). François de Sales, OEuvres complètes, Paris, J.-P.Migne, vol.VI, 1862, col.844, n°cccxx, indicating the above provenance.
