Description

[CARRÉ (Rémi)]. Recueil curieux et édifiant sur les cloches de l'Eglise, avec les cérémonies de leur Bénédiction. A l'occasion de celle qui fut faite à Paris le 3 juin 1756, à l'abbaye de Penthemont, en présence & aux noms de Monseigneur le Dauphin et de Madame Adelaïde de France, et le 14 septembre suivant, à l'abbaye aux Bois, en présence & aux noms de Monseigneur le prince de Condé et de Madame la princesse son épouse. Cologne [Paris], sn, 1757. In-12 of [4] 104 pp. Marbled calf, ornate ribbed spine, burgundy morocco title page, red pages (period binding). Rare little treatise on campanology by Rémi Carré (1706-1775), a Benedictine monk born in Troyes. What is a bell, where does the use of bells in churches come from, when are they used, why are they blessed, and where does the custom of naming them come from? The author answers these and other questions in the first part of the book. The second part of the book deals more specifically with the bells of Paris. Among the points addressed by the author is a section on exorcisms: "Inanimate creatures are exorcised, because the Devil can abuse them, and often does so to harm men. Through these exorcisms, the Church asks God not to allow demons to abuse these creatures, which were made for his glory, and which she wishes to use for holy purposes" (p. 33). At the end are "Cérémonies du rituel de Paris, pour la bénédiction du métal ou fonte destinés à faire une Cloche" and "Cérémonies du Rituel de Paris, pour la bénédiction d'une Cloche." Angular paper loss on two leaves (pp. 69-70 and 71-72), otherwise a fine copy. From the library of the Dukes of Luynes, with the armorial bookplate of Château de Dampierre on the flyleaf.
