CALMET (Augustin) & LENGLET-DUFRESNOY (Nicolas). Traité historique et dogmatique sur les Apparitions, les Visions & les Révélations particulières, avec des observations sur les Dissertations du R.P. Dom Calmet, Abbé de Sénones, sur les Apparitions et les Revenans. Avignon and Paris, Jean-Noël Leloup, 1751. 2 volumes in-12 marbled calf, ornate ribbed spine, red marbled title and green tom. pages, red tr. (period binding). Good restorations to bindings. False-title, title, xliii [1 bl.] 408 pp (vol. 1); false-title, title, vii [1 bl.] 448 pp (vol. 2). Without the plate. First edition of this curious treatise. "The 1st vol. contains chaps. I to X with proofs; X is devoted to several books of revelations; then comes a Discours hist. sur la conversion de Constantin, by Abbé Lestorcq. In the 2nd vol. chap. XI is devoted to the Revelations of Marie d'Agréda, and XII to the work of Dom Calmet: then come: Remarques sur la prétendue délivrance de l'âme de Trajan par les prières de St Grégoire le gr. Dissertation on the apparition of Samuel to Saul; Pièces (dix) concernant la vie de la Ste Vierge, par Marie d'Agreda (dont la première, la lettre publiée anonyme en 1696): Dissertation hist. sur la vision de Constantin, par le P. Du Moulinet; Retour des morts ou Traité pieux...; enfin Lettre de Mollinger à M. Schoepfflin. This work by Lenglet-Dufresnoy had been in preparation for fifty-five years (around 1696), when he decided to publish it on the occasion of Dom Calmet's work. This is the first edition of Caillet's "Recueil de Dissertations anciennes...". Abbé Augustin Calmet (1672-1757), a Benedictine monk from Lorraine, had published his Dissertations sur les Apparitions des Anges, des Démons & des Esprits, et sur les Revenans et les Vampires (Paris: De Bure, 1746) five years earlier. Lenglet-Dufresnoy's work deals with apparitions and demons, and includes reprints of curious pieces: Le Retour des Morts, ou Traité pieux, Qui prouve par plusieurs Histoires authentiques, que les Ames des Trépassés reviennent quelquefois par la permission de Dieu, published in Toulouse in 1694, Le Palais du prince du sommeil où est enseigné l'Oniromancie, published in Bourges in 1667, and others. A very fine copy of a rare and sought-after book. (Caillet II,6500; Dorbon 2632.)

All 3 volumes. Antoine Calmet, Dom Augustin in religion, was born on February 26, 1672 in Ménil-la-Horgne near Commercy, Lorraine, into a modest family (his father was a blacksmith). A keen student from an early age, he was an 18th-century exegete and scholar from Lorraine, known as Dom Calmet, a Benedictine from the Congregation of Saint-Vanne et Saint-Hydulphe. In 1728, Dom Calmet was appointed abbot of Senones, the capital of the principality of Salm. It was in the great Vosges abbey that he worked and lived the latter part of his life, maintaining a correspondence with numerous scholars. He died there on October 25, 1757. Dom Calmet left an immense body of work. His best-known work is his Histoire de Lorraine, the second edition of which was written in Senones. It was also in Senones that he wrote a now-forgotten work, a 17-volume Histoire universelle, on which Voltaire collaborated for a few days in 1753; a Bible in Latin and French, with a Commentaire littéral et critique sur tous les livres de l'Ancien & Nouveau Testament (Paris (1707-1716; 26 vol. in-4). The Commentaire, a major work by the Abbé de Senones, who constantly returned to make corrections or check translations, was reproduced separately under the title Trésor d'antiquités sacrées et profanes, from 1722, in 9 volumes. Complete with plates. Proofs at the end of each volume. Ex-libris Claude Hirtzmann.
