Important collection containing a collective defence of the abbé de Prades, author of a thesis condemned by the Sorbonne and the archbishop of Paris, and which was one of the pretexts to condemn in its turn the Encyclopédie of Diderot and d'Alembert. Second edition of this work of which the 3rd part was written by Diderot. In addition, there is, bound afterwards: Pièces nouvelles et curieuses sur l'affaire de l'abbé de Prades. S.l., s.n., 1754. 32 p. Old handwritten mention on the title: "one can be oneself like a wall of bronze when one has nothing to reproach oneself for, and when one does nothing of which one is obliged to be ashamed".
