This book is a fine specimen of such characteristic work from the Rocolet printers. This copy is exemplary for its royal provenance; this church history work which would have been presented at court to Louis XIV and the dauphin the kings son Louis of France 1661-1711. The dauphin would have been about 14 years old at the time of this edition. Louis XIV and other royals often had works printed and bound for presentation in the court and gave them to special members in their circle. The title has an unidentified impression monogram GDV in lower right corner probably dating to the 18th century. First edition and second volume of four containing Socrates Scholasticuss history of the Christian Church; this title part of a en ecclesiastical series by Rocolet published in 1675 and 1676; a reissue was made in Holland in 1686. This set is frequently found as the singular volume in usual institution catalogs. Louis Cousin was the translator of this great compilation corpus on church history written by the fifth century Church Father Socrates which continued the great magnum opus of his forefather Eusebius of Caesarea. Among Cousins law and theological acumen he was an academician royal censor and president of the court of currencies Cour des Monnoyes. This translation was highly regarded by his contemporaries as translations from the Greek of Church Father writings were becoming common in the ecclesiastical language of the Western Church. Pierre Rocolet the printer by appointment for the city government was active in Paris from 1640 until 1662 when his son-in-law Damien Foucault succeeded him in the business. Importantly this work is one of the last that Foucault would produce under the workshops name. He died in 1675 and his widow Anne Bonjean succeeded him until 1686 and then a son Hilaire Foucault continued until 1723. The Rocolet workshop was known for collaborating with select binders and gilders to producing luxurious decorated bindings which dominated the French booksellers markets in the mid and late seventeenth century. This copy is a notable armorial presentation binding within the circle of Louis XIV.

Vernet Jacques. Dialogues Socratiques Ou Instructions Sur Divers Sujets De Morale. 1754. First edition. Duodecimo volume presenting a series of dialogues structured around moral and philosophical inquiry following the classical model associated with Socratic teaching. The text frames ethical problems through exchanges between speakers combining literary form with didactic purpose.

Issued during the mid eighteenth century the work reflects broader Enlightenment efforts to systematize moral education and integrate classical philosophical traditions into modern intellectual life.
