Francisco Lodoviscio Bona - Defensio Beatissimae Virginis Mariae - 1674-1674

Defensio Beatissimae Virginis Mariae & piorum cultorum illius; against the pamphlet entitled, Monita Salutaria B.V. Mariae to her indiscreet devotees. Author: Francisco Loduviscio Bona (Pseudonym of Adam Widenfeldt / Circle of Nicolaus du Bois). Printer: Typis Christoph. Küchleri, Mainz (Moguntiae). Year of publication: 1674 (M. DC. LXXIV). Format: Octavo (8vo). Pagination: 151 pp. (Main treatise) + Appendix / Second part complete: "Jesu Christi Monita Salutaria de cultu Dilectissimae Matris Mariae... Edita d'Paci per R.D. Henricum de Cerf". Description of the work: A rare and important Counter-Reformation theological volume bringing together the famous Marian apologetic and the censored Jansenist libel that provoked the liturgical dispute of the 17th century. The text includes the famous woodcut engraving with the circular Jesuit monogram (IHS) and the nails of the Passion at the end of page 151, as well as detailed sections warning the reader (Praemonitio ad Lectorem) in which the papal condemnations of Innocent X and Alexander VII against the Five Jansenist Propositions are detailed. Provenance and Ownership History: This copy stands out for its exceptional documented historical lineage in its ownership marks: Early Provenance (17th Century): It originally belonged to the library of a Jesuit College. It bears the calligraphic handwritten inscription at the top of the title: "Collegii Societ. Iesu" along with an inventory number. The vellum spine preserves the original shelfmarks of the Jesuit arrangement (letter N, X and numeral 30). Modern Provenance (20th Century): It includes on the front flyleaf the full-page engraved ex-libris of the Dutch scholar, pedagogue and musicologist Jos Lenards (Joseph Lenards), a major promoter of the Ward Method and Gregorian chant. The woodcut is signed and dated in the plate by the renowned Benedictine monk-artist Dom Jérôme Leussink in 1945 (Abbey of Saint Benedict, Vaals), showing a rich iconography that blends ecclesiastical writing with sacred song. Condition: Original period binding in limp parchment. Structure and sewing firm with stable spine cords. The paper presents the usual patina of its more than 350 years, with uniform darkening and some foxing spots that do not affect legibility. A complete copy with margins in good condition.Description in FrenchTitle: Defensio Beatissimae Virginis Mariae & piorum cultorum illius; contre libellum intitulé, Monita Salutaria B.V.
