A stunning 1825 French theological work, Défense du Christianisme ou Conférences sur la Religion, written by M. Denis-Antoine Frayssinous — Bishop of Hermopolis and Chaplain to King Louis XVIII.
This Second Edition, Volume IV, printed in Paris by A.D. Le Clere & Cie, continues Frayssinous’ acclaimed series of public lectures defending Christianity during France’s post-Revolutionary era. Delivered before a skeptical, Enlightenment-influenced audience, these conferences became a foundational text for 19th-century Catholic apologetics.
Beautifully bound in period half-leather with gilt tooling, marbled boards, and marbled endpapers. The craftsmanship and condition make this a perfect collector’s piece for historians, theologians, or lovers of early 19th-century French bindings.
