1697 Francis de Sales Love of God Geneva Catholic Mysticism Cologne Lamormain

Francis de Sales was a 16^th-century Catholic bishop from Geneva and was a prominent voice during the unrest caused by the Protestant Reformation. While he is best remembered for his book ‘Devout Life’, he also wrote an important mystical treatise entitled ‘The Love of God’. This book, like ‘Devout Life’, was written for the laity rather than the clergy of the Catholic Church. It was written to offer a model of God’s love during a time when little love was being shown throughout Europe.

This 1697 edition is quite rare and features the Latin translation by Heinrich Lamormain, who translated it out of the original French.
