THIERS (Jean-Baptiste). Dissertation on the Holy Tear of Vendôme With the Answer to the letter of Father Mabillon concerning the so-called Holy Tear Amsterdam, s.n., 1751. In-12, [1] f. (illustrated engraved title), XLIII-431 p., contemporary blond speckled calf, smooth spine decorated with small irons, garnet morocco title-piece, triple gilt fillet and angular fleurons adorning the boards, gilt fillet at the edges, red edges (2 dull corners, foxing at the title then sporadic). Second and last edition of this treatise aiming at discrediting the belief in a relic that the author, familiar with criticism and controversy, judges with severity. Amply expanded, it includes in particular the list of the author's works. The Réponse à la lettre de Mabillon, which occupies a third of the volume, is preceded by a proper title dated 1750. The Amsterdam address is wrong, the edition was published in Paris by J.-N. Le Loup. The engraved title page includes a nice view of Vendôme. Provenance: Francisque Renard, Lyonnais, 19th c. (engraved bookplate).
