[FRANÇOIS DE SALES]. - ARNAULD (Antoine). Le Magnifique triomphe de saint François de Sales, évesque et prince de Genève, fondateur de l'Ordre de la Visitation de sainte Marie. ÀParis, Gilles Tompère, 1680. Small in-8, 10pp. numbered 1-10, 16pp. unnumbered, 134pp. numbered 11-144, 147pp. numbered 73-219, 11pp. not numbered; signatures: A4-B1, ã4, 4, B2-3, C-I4, K-N8, O*4, K-Z4, Aa-Ee4, Ff1, 2; tobacco morocco, ribbed spine, double cold fillet dividing the spine and framing the boards, gilded fillet on the edges, gilded inner lace, gilded edges; head and first cover slightly sunned (19th-century binding). Apotheosis of Saint François de Sales, combining an anthology of his thoughts with texts by Antoine Arnauld himself - not the great Arnauld, as Sainte-Beuve had remarked. This Antoine Arnauld's interest in the saint may well stem from the fact that, as parish priest at the Hôpital général de Paris, known as the Salpêtrière, where beggars were confined, he would have been sensitive to the Introduction à la vie dévote, in which Saint François de Sales says he considers confinement sites - hospitals or prisons - as places of salvation where an appropriate pastoral care should be exercised. Fine copper-engraved portrait-frontispiece of Saint François de Sales by Herman Weyen after Jean Boulanger. A bibliographical case. This is probably the original edition, or at any rate the first to be published, if we take into account the absence in the CcFr of a single copy of an earlier edition, and take into account the following elements: here we find the mention of "second edition" in the title, and that of "second printing" in the preface. The volume forms a composite whole: on the one hand, it includes a first set of 113ff. in regular signatures (i.e. 219pp. paginated, followed by 7 unpaginated pages for the table of contents), bearing several texts, some of which clearly appear to be occasional pieces written on the occasion of the canonization ("triumph") of Saint François de Sales (1665) - the table of contents mentions only the texts in this first set. The volume also includes a second set of 46ff. with signatures in uppercase with a star or in lowercase with a tilde, bearing additional texts: treatises on piety, prayers, a text on Saint François de Sales and his brothers, and a preface mentioning the fact that the canonization has long since passed. The two sets of printed leaves, however, bear dates from the same year: the first set includes a title dated 1680, the approvals of two Sorbonne theologians dated June and August 1680, and a permission from the Lieutenant General of Police in Paris, Gabriel Nicolas de LaReynie, dated June 1680; similarly, the second set of printed leaves bears an approval from the Bishop of Geneva dated August 1680. However, the dates of the first set appear on its title leaf and last leaf, both apparently on different paper, which would logically suggest that they were renewed for the "second edition" and therefore belong to the second set. In any case, it is highly probable that the work in its form before the additions was never distributed. Provenance: Pingon (double signature on title, scratched). Possibly from the Savoyard family of this name, the barons of Cusy, one of whose wives married the brother of Saint François de Sales.
