Rome, Paris, Londres, Genève, Amsterdam, Bruxelles, Madrid, Vienne, Berlin, Saint-Petersbourg, sn, sd. In-4, 319-[1] pp. Fawn half-chagrin, spine ribbed and decorated, gilt title (modern binding). Very curious work by the anticlerical and libertarian publisher Maurice LACHÂTRE (1814-1900) for the prologue, commentary and epilogue, and indebted to Paulin FRANQUES and A.R. for the translation of the Latin texts. Engraved illustrations in the text. Bishop of Le Mans in the mid-19th century, Mgr Bouvier castigates, among other things, fornication, prostitution, incest, "clerics who excite shameful actions", the "different kinds of lust consumed against nature" - pollution, sodomy and bestiality -, "morose delectation", kissing, women's finery, dishonest speech and indecent looks, balls and shows. Translation accompanied by a violent anti-clerical and atheist pamphlet expressing the theses of libertarian communism, which emerged in the 1880s. The text was blacklisted on January 19, 1877. Rare. (Gay III, 313 for Meulenaere's 1880 edition).
