Le Roux, Philibert-Joseph (d. circa 1735) Histoire du Pere La Chaize, Jesuite & Confesseur du Roi Louis XIV.
Cologne: Pierre Marteau, 1694.
Second French edition, 12mo, title page printed in red and black, bound in full teal crushed morocco, from the library (and presumably bound for) Léon Gruel (1840-1923) with this designation, along with a central gilt emblem, tooled in gilt on the front board, aeg., nicely preserved, 5 1/8 x 2 1/2 in.
Le Roux was forced to flee from France to Belgium after publishing this biography critical of François de la Chaise (1624-1709). As promised on the title, "L'on verra les intrigues secretes qu'il a eu à la Cour de France & dans toutes les Cours de l'Europe pour l'avancement des grands desseins du Roi son maître."
