1681 Bishops of Paris Assembly Louis XIV Catholic Church Innocent XI Royal ARMS

A rare 18^th-century printing of the minutes taken during the Archbishopric of Paris in 1681. This assembly was needed as a response to the growing tensions between the Catholic Church with Pope Innocent XI and the French monarchy under Louis XIV. In fact, much of what occurred during these assemblies would influence the Declaration of the Four Articles which appeared the following year.

This book contains letters written to King Louis XIV from the archbishops and clergy of France who were gathered at Saint Germain en Laye.

However, the draw of this particular example is the armorial supralibros on the front and back boards belonging to Charles Le Goux de La Berchère, archbishop of Narbonne.
