BOSSUET (Jacques-Bénigne). Traitez du Libre-Arbitre et de la Concupiscence. Paris. 1731. - BOSSUET (Jacques-Bénigne) Traitez du Libre-Arbitre et de la Concupiscence . Ouvrages posthumes de Messire Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet, Évêque de Meaux. Paris: Barthelemy Alix, 1731. 26, [6], 156, [2 br.], [2], 218, [12] pp.; 170 mm. Original edition of this posthumous work by Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet, published in Paris almost three decades after the author's death. It brings together two treatises on moral theology: the * Traité du Libre Arbitre * and the * Traité de la Concupiscence* , the latter an exposition of the words of St. John (I John, II, 15-17) on contempt for the world. Both texts remained unpublished during the author's lifetime, only coming to light within the context of the vast posthumous publication of his work, carried out throughout the 18th century from the manuscripts left by Bossuet.
