Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. DUVERGIER DE HAURANNE, Jean. Theological manuscript in French, "La Pauvreté" (On Poverty), likely by Jean Duvergier de Hauranne. 18th century. Large 8vo (20.5 x 16 cm). Margins slightly trimmed. 18th-century vellum. 86 leaves. Provenance: from the library of Chevalier D'Eon. The signature is an autograph. ean Duvergier de Hauranne, better known as the Abbé of Saint-Cyran, was a important @Agure in 17th- century French religious thought. Saint-Cyran's austere theology, deeply rooted in Augustinian thought, became the cornerstone of Jansenism. As spiritual director of Port-Royal-des-Champs, Saint-Cyran's his inBCuence grew rapidly. His uncompromising stance on moral renewal and his critique of worldly religion put him at odds with the powerful, including Cardinal Richelieu. This conBCict culminated in his imprisonment at Vincennes in 1638. "Christian Thoughts on Poverty" (1670) is a book ascribed to him, although in the book published long after his death, the printer says, "We also did not think we should put the name of their Author at the head of these Thoughts, because, having a/fected to hide it during his life in the works of piety he composed, we feared to wound his humility after his death." So, we do not know for sure if the manuscript precedes the book or not. But it seems very likely. In the preface, it is said that the anonymous author was full of the expressions of the Fathers and of Scripture, that he most often did nothing but repeat, without realizing it, what the Holy Spirit had inspired. The publisher then writes that he wavered on putting the original passages in the margin to make these instructions more authentic, but it was later judged to abstain from this for fear of making this Book less convenient and less portable. However, in our copy, these notes are often there. The meditations end at no. 804, while in the book they go on to number 815. Two other texts follow: "Traduite de psaume de David" and "Saint Bernard dans la lettre." On the ./yleaf, it says in an 18th-century hand "De la Bibliothèque de Chevalier D'Eon". D'Eon was a diplomat, hardened soldier, spy, and cross-dresser. His life has remained a subject of fascination ever since. The Chevalier d'Eon lived openly as a man and as a woman in France and England at di8ferent stages of life. He later claimed that in 1755 he had attended a ball at Versailles dressed as a woman where, 'after brie ly revealing his masculinity, [he] seduced Madame de Pompadour'. He joined the French army and had a dazzling military career against the Prussians. Afterwards, the Chevalier was e8fectively working in London as a spy for Louis XV and living on a lavish scale, entertaining such important names as Horace Walpole and David Hume, while spending his money on rare books and manuscripts (such as ours!), CDne clothes, and corsets. In 1785, the Chevalier returned to England. To generate some income, he ended up giving fencing displays, dressed as a woman. He died there in May 1810, and a post-mortem examination conCDrmed that 'his male organs were perfectly formed'.…
