1701 BIBLE Illustrated de Sacy Famous Royamond Bible Fontaine 269 engravings!



Nicolas Fontaine was a relatively unknown French theologian from the 17th-century. He closely associated himself with Lemaistre de Sacy and was subsequently arrested for heresy as a Jansenist with de Sacy. Fontaine wrote several important works, including a history of the Bible; however, this work has often been attributed to de Sacy because of the closeness the two shared. Because the work was published under the name ‘Royaumont’s Bible’, the attribution was not always clear.



This book features 269 impressive copper engravings of famous Bible scenes – an incredible collection of illustrations! This 1701 edition, which was published in Paris, was promoted and sold by Fricx who published the earlier 17th-century editions in Brussels.
