<p>HISTOIRE ECCLESIASTIQUE par Mr. Fleury Pretre Abbe de Loc-Dieu sous-precepteur de Monseigneur le Duc de Bourgogne & de Monseigneur le Duc d'Anjou. Paris: Pierre Emery etc. 1691 First edition. Full mottled calf gilt with lettering-pieces and five raised bands to spine. Title woodcut and copper-engraved headpiece with history scene by Sebastien LeClerc. All gilt edges. A thorough theological historical and anecdotal chronicle of the Catholic Church from the time of the Evangelists to 1595.</p><p>Claude Fleury 6 December 1640 Paris – 14 July 1723 Paris was a French ecclesiastical historian. Destined for the bar he was educated at the aristocratic College de Clermont now that of Louis-le-Grand. In 1658 he was nominated an advocate to the parlement of Paris and for nine years followed the legal profession. But he had long been of a religious disposition and in 1667 turned from law to theology. He had been some time in orders when Louis XIV in 1672 selected him as tutor of the princes of Conti with such success that the king next entrusted to him the education of the count of Vermandois one of his natural sons on whose death in 1683 Fleury received for his services the Cistercian abbey of Loc-Dieu in the diocese of Rodez. In 1689 he was appointed sub-preceptor of the dukes of Burgundy of Anjou and of Berry and thus became intimately associated with Fénelon their chief tutor. In 1696 he was elected to fill the place of La Bruyère in the Académie française; and on the completion of the education of the young princes the king bestowed upon him the rich priory of Argenteuil in the diocese of Paris 1706. On assuming this benefice he resigned with rare disinterestedness that of the abbey of Loc-Dieu.</p><p>About this time he began his great work the first of the kind in France and one for which he had been collecting materials for thirty years—the Histoire ecclésiastique. Fleury's evident intention was to write a history of the church for all classes of society; but at the time in which his great work appeared it was less religion than theology that absorbed the attention of the clergy and the educated public; and his work accordingly appealed to the student rather than to the popular reader dwelling as it does very particularly on questions of doctrine of discipline of supremacy and of rivalry between the priesthood and the imperial power.</p><p>Nevertheless it had a great success. The first edition printed at Paris in 20 volumes 4to 1691 was followed by many others among which may be mentioned that of Brussels in 32 vols 8vo 1692 and that of Nîmes in 25 vols 8vo 1778 to 1780.
