MASSILLON, Oeuvres choisies de Massillon, 1825

Beautiful copy for this edition bringing together Massillon's sermons.
Jean-Baptiste Massillon (1663-1742) was bishop of Clermont and academician, he is often compared to Bourdaloue and Bossuet.

Voltaire, who had Le Petit Carême read to him during his meals, said of him: “The preacher who knew the world best; more flowery than Bourdaloue, more pleasant, and whose eloquence smacks of the man of the court, the academician, and the man of wit; moreover, a moderate and tolerant philosopher. ».
