    Jean Baptiste Massillon was a French Catholic preacher who served as Bishop of Clermont from 1717 until his death in 1742. 

    Prior owner's ink inscriptions to the first free endpaper of Volume II and III and to the title pages of each Volume. 

    Condition

    In full calf bindings. Externally, smart. There is some rubbing to the leather in these areas. There is some light rubbing to the spine of Volume I. The hinges of Volume I and II are strained but firm. To Volume III, the rear hinge is starting and working loose. Prior owner's ink inscriptions to the first free endpaper of Volume II and III and to the title pages of each Volume. To Volume I, where the ink inscription might have been to the first free endpaper there is now some loss to the page. Internally, firmly bound. The pages are bright and clean with some light age toning and the odd spot.
