Le Maistre de Sacy - Ezechiel - 1698

A rare 17th century edition of "Ezekiel", translated into French by Louis-Isaac Lemaistre de Sacy, offering a complete exploration of the biblical book of Ezekiel, with explanations taken from the Church Fathers and ecclesiastical writers. The book of Ezekiel is a major prophetic book in the Old Testament, recounting the visions of Ezekiel, a priest and prophet who lived during the Babylonian captivity. His prophecies encompass visions of the destruction of Jerusalem, the restoration of the land of Israel, and far-reaching judgments against neighbouring nations. Ezekiel's writings are notable for their symbolic and apocalyptic imagery, reflecting themes of restoration and divine sovereignty. This work is part of Lemaistre de Sacy's larger project of translating the Bible and its commentaries into French, making religious texts more accessible to a wider audience during a time when religious education was becoming increasingly important. Our copy features a handwritten ex libris by Claude Jamet, intellectual and journalist engaged in collaborations.
