[MISCELÂNEA DE OPÚSCULOS JANSENISTAS SOBRE A BULA UNIGENITUS]. Amesterdão e Utreque, 1731-1737 - Réflexions Simples et Naturelles sur ce qui se passe aujourd'hui dans l'Eglise . Par l'Auteur du Parallèle. Amsterdam: Chez Nicolas Potier, Libraire, 1731. Anonymous work of religious controversy, attributed to the «Author of the Parallel». Published in Amsterdam in 1731, in the context of the religious polemics of the early 18th century. Junto com: REFLEXIONS Simples et Naturelles sur ce qui se passe aujourd'hui dans l'Eglise . Par l'Auteur du Parallèle. A Amsterdam: Chez Nicolas Potier, Libraire, 1731. 62 pp.; 195 mm. An anonymous pamphlet, printed clandestinely in Amsterdam – a common place for the publication of Jansenist works banned in France – with the author identified only by a reference to an earlier work entitled * Le Parallèle *, without his identity being definitively ascertained. The text is part of the controversy surrounding the bull *Unigenitus* and the persecution of appealing clergymen, published precisely in the year that the Saint-Médard cemetery in Paris became the scene of the *convulsionaires* phenomenon and in which the Archbishop of Paris would, in July 1731, prohibit worship near the tomb of Deacon Pâris.

A Amsterdam: Chez Nicolas Potier, Libraire, 1733. 16 pp.; 195 mm. Anonymous pamphlet, printed clandestinely in Amsterdam by the same bookseller and under the same author identification formula - «Par l'Auteur du Parallèle» - as another title in the same series, Réflexions simples et naturelles sur ce qui se passe aujourd'hui dans l'Eglise (Amsterdam, 1731). This establishes a confrontation between the figure of the Jansenist deacon François de Pâris, whose tomb in Saint-Médard had become, since 1731, the stage for the phenomenon of the Convulsionaries, and that of the Jesuit priest Jean-Baptiste Girard, then involved in the resounding trial that pitted him against his penitent Marie-Catherine Cadière, judged in Aix-en-Provence in 1731 and still alive in public memory in 1733. The confrontation between the two figures was commonplace in the Jansenist polemic against the Society of Jesus at the time, and this pamphlet is part of that clandestine pamphleteering production.

VIII, 62, [2] pp.; 195 mm. Pierre Boyer (1677-1755), an Oratorian priest and prominent figure in the Jansenist circle of figureheads, authored several pamphlets of anti-Jesuit polemics and defense of the appellant's cause, including a * Vie de Mr de Pâris, Diacre* , published in the same year, 1731. The attribution of this work to his name does not appear on the printed title page, but it results from a contemporary handwritten note in the copy and is corroborated by later bibliography. Published, like the other pieces of this clandestine production from the same Amsterdam bookstore, without indication of the true author on the title page, this pamphlet argues that Jesus Christ himself was, in his time, treated as anathema and excommunicated by the constituted religious authorities – a rhetorical parallel common in Jansenist literature of the period, which sought to legitimize the position of the excommunicated appellants following the bull *Unigenitus* through analogy with the condemnation of Christ by the Sanhedrin. It thus fits into the intense Jansenist pamphleteering production of 1731, a year also marked by the beginning of the phenomenon of the convulsionaries near the tomb of Deacon Paris.

Sur la foiblesse de l'homme & sur la force de la Grace. A Utrecht: Aux Dépens de la Compagnie, 1737. 108 pp.; 195 mm. A short work of Jansenist polemic attributed to a certain Péan in modern bibliographical records, published in Utrecht under the editorial formula ”Aux dépens de la Compagnie, ” typical of the clandestine press linked to the Church of Utrecht. It systematically confronts the propositions condemned by the bull Unigenitus with corresponding passages from Scripture, the Fathers, and the Doctors of the Church on the weakness of man and the power of grace, seeking to demonstrate that the condemned doctrine coincided, in essence, with patristic and scriptural tradition – a common apologetic strategy in the appealing literature of the time. The work had at least one sequel, published under the title Le Combat de l'Erreur contre la Vérité . Rare. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
