[François PICART or LE PICART]. Propositions, dicts and sentences Containing the graces, fruits, proofs, uses and praises of the most sacred and worthy Sacrament of the Altar for those who receive it in state of grace: extracts from several holy Doctors. Paris, Jacques Kerver, 1582. In-8, brown calf, double fillet, special iron with the attributes of the Passion on the first plate, smooth spine decorated, gilt edges (17th century binding). Bechtel, P-151 ff. / Brunet, III-993 /// (140f). A-R8-S4. Rare volume printed in gothic characters by Jacques Kerver who officiated in Paris from 1535 to 1583. The work is attributed by Bechtel to François Le Picart, doctor of theology at the University of Paris, a preacher who died in 1566. Brunet attributes to him a work whose title is so close that it seems obvious that the one we present is another edition. Bechtel cites two editions of Kerver in 1570 and 1577 but does not mention ours. Mark of Kerver on the title, 3 small vignettes, 15 medium ones and a large illustration, all woodcut. The 15 medium-sized vignettes illustrate The Fifteen Bloodshed of Our Saviour and Redeemer Jesus Christ. 11 of them are signed with the monogram ILB, probably that of Jean Le Bé. Set copy. Rubbed binding with a small lack on the first cover, partly detached title with small lacks on the inside, stain on one page, small lack on the last page.
