    in-8, br., AUTHOR'S INSCRIPTION, presence of a map representing the Protestant settlement in the diocese of Grenoble around 1680-1685, (cover slightly faded, several pencil underlines in the margin), interior very fresh, [This work comes from the personal library of Professor Jean Carbonnier (1908-2003)], 16 p.
    This study is devoted to Bishop Étienne Le Camus, who, “to disabuse these poor misguided souls, […] decided to ‘preach Holy Scripture every day,’ to catechize and teach the Protestants of Grenoble in order to bring them back, with tenacity and gentleness, into the fold of the Catholic Church.” He preached to the Catholics “patience and moderation. He exhorted Catholics to have charity toward heretics, to set a good example for them, and to serve them, but not to associate with them.” He managed to avoid the bloody persecutions experienced by other dioceses but was marked, at the end of his life, by “the failure of the policy of reunification” with these new converts.
