1856ref. 373747Jules Guillaume Fick Geneva 1856. Full Vellum. Very Good Condition. This rare 1856 edition resurrects a fiery Reformation tract by Franois Bonivard the former Prior of St. Victor in Geneva and a vocal critic of papal authority. Originally penned in the 16th century Bonivard's Advis et Devis is a sweeping denunciation of papal idolatry tyranny and political cunning tracing the rise of the papacy through pratique et finesse craft and manipulation. The title alone is a manifesto: a condemnation not only of Rome's spiritual claims but of its worldly ascent bolstered by false miracles distorted reformers and the machinery of deception. The 1856 printing by Jules Guillaume Fick a Genevan publisher active in theological and polemical works is notable for its typographic austerity and symbolic frontispiece a woodcut archway labeled la porte large & le chemin spacieux qui mene a perdition the wide gate and spacious path that leads to perdition. This visual metaphor sets the tone for the text's moral urgency and rhetorical force. Though the book is printed in French its spirit is unmistakably Calvinist echoing Geneva's role as a bastion of Protestant reform and intellectual dissent. Bonivard's work is more than theological invective it's a window into the political theology of the Reformation where spiritual critique was inseparable from civic resistance. His attacks on les difformes reformateurs distorted reformers suggest a layered critique not just of Rome but of those who claimed reform while perpetuating corruption. The 1856 edition likely served both archival and agitational purposes reasserting Protestant identity in a century grappling with religious revivalism ultramontanism and the legacy of Enlightenment skepticism. For collectors this volume sits at the intersection of Reformation polemic Genevan print culture and 19th-century religious historiography. Its vellum binding untrimmed edges and stark layout reinforce its status as a deliberate revival a book meant to be read debated and remembered. Bound in full vellum yapped edges. Ties now absent. Edges untrimmed. Binding dusty and marked but very firm and sound. Contents very clean and firm. Size: 14.5 x 22 cms. Category: Antiquarian & Rare; Special Interest.
