Very beautiful copy in an elegant binding. Massillon's sermons (1663-1742) are only individual interviews conducted for the King's instruction before he came of age, and Joseph Thouvenin, a student of François Bozerian, is one of the most prolific bookbinders of his time. He is one of the three most important bookbinders of the 19th century and of the Restoration in particular, with René Simier and Jean-Georges Purgold.
