PARISOT (Pierre). Mémoires historiques sur les affaires des Jésuites avec le Saint-Siège, in which it will be seen that the King of Portugal, in proscribing these rebellious religious from all the lands under his domination, & the King of France, in wanting that in the future their society should no longer take place in his States, only executed the project already formed by several great Popes, to suppress it throughout the Church. Dedicated to His Most Faithful Majesty by M. l'abbé C.P. Platel, former apostolic missionary, & procureur général des missions étrangères de France en Cour de Rome. With the most ample & distinguished approvals of all the ecclesiastical & secular courts of Lisbon. Lisbon [Paris], François-Louis Ameno, 1766, 7 strong vol. in-4, with 9 plates hors-texte, including a general frontispiece and a folding map of the missions of India, marbled fawn calf, spines with cloisonné and fleurons, title and tomaison parts, red edges (period binding). Unique edition under this title and with this development, very uncommon. This is a much enlarged reprint of the Mémoires historiques sur les missions des Indes orientales (Lucca [Avignon], 1744, in two in-4 volumes only), which already attacked Jesuit policy in their missions on the Malabar and Coromandel Coasts and in Maduré.
