Description
DU LAURENS (Henri-Joseph) Le compère Mathieu, ou les bigarrures de l'esprit humain. New edition, adorned with fine figures. Malta, at the expense of the grand-master, 1792, small 16mo, binding as-is, 179 & 156 pp., volumes I & II. Missing part of the table of contents for the second volume, a few rare watermarks. With great imagination and verve, equally excessive, Du Laurens mocks freemasons, Jesuits, ridiculous beliefs and manias, attacking both Philosophy and religious abuses. The work enjoyed great scandalous success and was condemned as offensive to public and religious morality.
