Description du lot

8vo: [4]-487 (= 587)-[1 bl.] pp. (8 Index ff. bound between pp. 211-219; sl. toned).

Contemp. mottled sheep, gilt spine with 5 raised bands, gilt sides, red sp. edges (sl. rubbed, corners bumped, head def.). Good copy.

First edition of this correspondence between the Oratorian Jean Morin (1591-1659) and Cardinal Barberini (and others) regarding the project of Pope Urban VIII to unite all schismatic churches of the orient with the Roman church, in which the learned orientalist Morin was instrumental. As such, this constitutes an early and important attempt to systematically address the relations between the Rome and the Christian communities established in Lebanon, Syria and in the rest of the Middle East, containing valuable observations on the Druze, Copt, and other local religious communities. Several portions printed in Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, and Syriac characters. The editor, R. Simon (1638-1712), has prefixed a Life of Morin.
Ref. ESTC R5020. - Wing M-2764 & S-3795.
